STAR voting can be made precinct-summable by using [[Pairwise counting|pairwise counting]] to determine who voters prefer in every possible automatic runoff. |
|||
A STAR voting ranking of candidates can be done by using the [[Bloc voting|Bloc STAR voting]] procedure: find the STAR winner, put them in 1st place, then remove them from the election, and repeat, putting each consecutive STAR winner in a lower rank than all previous STAR winners. Optionally, if two candidates tie in the automatic runoff during this procedure, they can both be put as tied for the same rank, and then both are removed from the election. Note that while STAR voting can never put someone ranked 3rd or worse by [[Score voting]] as 1st i.e. its winner (when run on the same ballots; this is because only the two candidates ranked highest by Score voting can enter the STAR automatic runoff and thus even be eligible to win), it can put the candidate Score ranked 1st (i.e. the Score winner) as its last place candidate using this procedure, since the Score winner may be a [[Condorcet loser]] i.e. a candidate who would lose an automatic runoff against any other candidate. |
