(assignment in order of delegated votes)
Line 43:
:b) '''Voters may approve one or more candidates, and also have the option to mark "Do not delegate". <u>Delegated votes</u> and initial <u>total approvals</u> are tallied and announced for each candidate.''' ''Announcing full tallies makes step 3 predictable and fair.''

:a) ''(optional)'' There is a one-week period for candidates to analyze and negotiate based on these preliminary results. ''Actually, the optimal strategies for all candidates and the resulting winner will already be obvious. Usually, all candidates except this winner would concede as soon as preliminary results are announced. However, for the occasional candidate inclined to act irrationally in a way that matters - say, by not delegating to an ally, even though the alternative is to see an enemy elected - this interim period would give them a chance to rethink things and come into reason.''

''If, considering the votes, a candidate can win, they will probably prefer not to approve other candidates. If there are two allied candidates who need to cooperate to win, the one with more approvals has first chance not to approve the other. That way, when it's the weaker candidate's turn, they will no longer have the possibility of winning, so the weaker will approve the stronger.''

<small><u>'''Use their delegated ballots'''</u>: The process by which a candidate effectively adds approvals to the votes delegated to him or her. When, for example, candidate A uses their delegated ballots to approve of B and C, then B and C's approval totals are each increased by A's delegated vote total. When it is a candidate's turn, they may choose to approve of nobody else, for instance if they believe they will win; but this counts as using their delegated votes, and they will not be given another chance to change that decision. When all candidates have used their votes, the election is over.</small>
