Power truncation

Revision as of 22:24, 20 June 2005 by imported>James Green-Armytage (continued)

With a pairwise-count method, when a voter chooses the power truncation option, that means that s/he wants, for any candidate s/he doesn't rank, that his/her ballot be counted as voting every one of the other candidates against that one.

So every candidate s/he doesn't rank is treated as if it were last-ranked on his-her ballot, with all the others ranked over that candidate.
