SODA voting (Simple Optionally-Delegated Approval): Difference between revisions

:a) '''Before the election, all candidates must rank the other official candidates in order of preference. Equal rankings are allowed.'''

Thus, the public preferences allow voters to make informed decisions in step 2 and prevent corrupt vote-selling in step 3.''
