Definite Majority Choice: Difference between revisions

Voters rank their preferred candidates, from favorite to least preferred, and may optionally specify an '''Approval cutoffCutoff'''.

A [[Graded Ballot]] ballot implementation would infer the ordinal ranking from the 'grades' given to candidates, and the Approval Cutoff would be determined with a Lowest Passing Grade option. Voters could grade their choices from favorite (A+) to least preferred (ungraded), and give some or all of their graded choices a "passing grade" to signify approval.

Any candidate at the Lowest Passing Grade or higher is given one Approval vote. Unless explicitly changed, the Lowest Passing Grade is C-minusassumed byto defaultbe C.

No Approval votes are given to ungraded candidates or candidates graded below the Lowest Passing Grade (i.e., C- and lower, by default).

99% of the time, there should be no need to change the LPG -- with 98 default approved grade levels from A+ to C-, there is plenty of room to express relative preferences.
