Line 1:
'''NOTE: this method is largely superceded by [[PLACE voting]], a similar but simpler method which lacks the "open list" aspect.'''
Geographic Open List/Delegated voting (GOLD voting) is a proportional voting method for electing legislators to a multi-seat body. Its main advantages are: simple ballots, minimal wasted votes, and "do no harm" (that is, it doesn't change FPTP outcomes unless they're non-proportional).
Line 18 ⟶ 20:
#* '''Delegated''': Trust the '''candidate''' (that is, the pre-declared preferences of your chosen candidate.)
#::* Each candidate must publicly pre-declare ratings for the other candidates. If the candidate is no longer in the running, these votes will be split equally among the remaining candidates at the original candidate's highest remaining rating level.
#::* There are 6 rating levels: "endorsed", "accepted", or "rejected" for same-party candidates, then
#::* ''This is the default if you vote for a non-local and/or independent candidate.''
#::* ''If a voter mistakenly marks both transfer methods, the default applies (as if they had chosen neither).''
Line 80 ⟶ 82:
Using such a mechanism, a voter could simply "write in" a party but not a specific candidate. This would be considered as a vote for an eliminated candidate for that party, using "partisan" transfer.
