Imagine Democratic Fair Choice: Difference between revisions

 

''A: Before joining the officials in performing the last step of the election, let us shortly recall the rules of the sophisticated new voting system which the United Nations adopted last year for this election. Although the system, called '''"Democratic Fair Choice"''', requires the voter to make '''just one or a few simple marks''' on the ballot, it is based on much more detailed information than most other comparable voting systems.''

 

B: Right, this is because with your one main vote, called the '''"direct support vote"''', you not only voted for your favourite candidate today, but you voted for a whole ''ranking'' of all the candidates, with your favourite on top. Perhaps you remember those '''rankings published by each of the candidates''' a week ago? This is the ranking your "direct support vote" is counted for!
