Line 1:
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).
 
It assumes the voters have been divided up into one equal-population riding (aka riding or constituency) per seat being elected and that each candidate has publicly declared their preference orderratings for the other candidates ("if I don't win, then I want the votes I hold to gobe tosplit her,among thenthe him,candidates I rate A; then, himwhen they are all eliminated, among those I rate B; etc."). Precisely one representative per area (riding, riding, or constituency) will win.
 
Here are the rules. Items in italics are mere explanations or justifications; the rules themselves are only the non-italic portions.
