Line 1:
Prefer Accept Reject (PAR) voting works as
# Voters can Prefer, Accept, or Reject each candidate. Default is "Reject" for voters who do not explicitly reject any candidates, and "Accept" otherwise.
# Candidates with a majority of Reject, or with under 25% Prefer, are
# The winner is the non-eliminated candidate with the highest score
Note that the 25%-preferred threshold in step 2 is exactly enough so that, in a 3-way election where all voters preferred at least 1 candidate and rejected at least 1 candidate, there will always be at least 1 candidate who passes the thresholds to not be eliminated. This does not hold for an election with 4 or more candidates; but hopefully, even in those cases, the top 3 candidates combined will usually get enough preferences to ensure that at least one of them is above the thresholds.▼

(If Memphis voters rejected Nashville, then Chattanooga or Knoxville could win by conspiring to reject Nashville and accept Memphis. However, Nashville could stop this by rejecting them. Thus this strategy would not work without extreme foolishness from both Memphis and Nashville voters, and extreme amounts of strategy from the others.)
