Prefer Accept Reject (PAR) voting works as follows: |

# '''Voters Prefer, Accept, or Reject each candidate.''' On ballots which don't explicitly use "Reject", blanks count as "Reject"; otherwise, blanks count as "Accept". |
# '''Voters Prefer, Accept, or Reject each candidate.''' On ballots which don't explicitly use "Reject", or for candidates with less than 25% "Prefer", blanks count as "Reject"; otherwise, blanks count as "Accept". |
||
# '''Of the candidates |
# '''Of the candidates with no more than 50% "Reject", the one with most "Prefer"s is called the frontrunner.''' |
||
# Each "prefer" is worth 1 point. |
# Each "prefer" is worth 1 point. Each "accept" on a ballot which doesn't "Prefer" the frontrunner is also worth 1 point. If that doesn't leave the frontrunner with more points, add points for "accept" from the rest of the ballots (the ones that don't "Prefer" the frontrunner). '''Most points wins.''' |

Note that the procedure above will always elect a candidate that's both viable and acceptable, if any exist. It will usually, but not always, elect the "leader" as defined above. Each candidate's score at the end can be seen as an approval total. |
