Line 491:
The idea of the rated pairwise ballot is to allow voters to indicate their strength of preference, while not being limited to expressing only one transitive maximally strong pairwise preference. For example, on a rated ballot, if a voter expresses that A is maximally better than B (by putting A at the max score and B at the lowest score), then B is automatically treated as being no better than any other candidate i.e. because there is no further room on the scale to down-score another candidate. However, it can be argued to be illogical to allow a voter to express several transitive maximally strong pairwise preferences.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/fylh2p/how_are_elections_run_under_condorcet_reported/fnjdafj|title=r/EndFPTP - Comment by u/MuaddibMcFly on ”How are Elections Run under Condorcet reported with [typical races are normally reported by Points (%)] and - which form of Condorcet Voting would be easiest to implement?”|website=reddit|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-27}}</ref>
There is most likely no simple way to create a PR method using rated pairwise ballots, partially because there are no good summary statistics to describe voters' preferences with these ballots (i.e. one voter's 1st choice may be given a different strength of preference in some matchups than another voter's, etc.) Possibly such a thing could be aided by, when some number of winners are desired, allowing voters to express preferences between [[winner set]]<nowiki/>s rather than only pairs of candidates, though this is likely much less practical.
The main voting methods with which this ballot type can be used in the single-winner case are the [[:Category:Pairwise counting-based voting methods]].
