Line 82:
When designing a digital interface for the rated pairwise ballot, it's possible to use various software features to highlight the constraints on how a voter can vote. For example, if the voter submits an incorrect A>C preference, then their A>B and B>C preferences could be highlighted on the screen, with an indicator to show why the three preferences don't line up. Similarly, if the voter indicates a maximal margin for A>B and prefers B>=C, then the software can "fill out" the voter's ballot to put a maximal margin in favor of A in every matchup where the voter prefers B to the other candidate (For clarity purposes, the software should probably indicate, perhaps with colors or something, which matchups the voter filled out and which ones were auto-filled).
For rated pairwise, when there are 7 candidates, at least 21 lines are required on the ballot where the voters can score each matchup. When there are more than 7 candidates, it can be more practical to have the voters rank/score each candidate individually (like in Score voting) with only up to 6 [[slot]]<nowiki/>s offered, and then below that, allow the voter to indicate how they'd score the candidates in a matchup between their 1st choice and 2nd choice, 2nd choice and 3rd choice, etc. This is because with 8 candidates, at least 28 lines would be needed for each and every matchup, but with this compression trick, instead 8 lines are needed for each candidate's score/rank, and then 15 lines are offered to allow the voter to indicate their pairwise preference between candidates in each of the 6 gradations, for a total of 23 lines. From here, one line is added for each additional candidate i.e. 24 lines would be needed for 9 candidates, etc. As a bonus, voters who only fill out the ranked/scored section of the ballot and not the pairwise part can simply have their rankings/scores counted directly as their pairwise preferences (see the "Ranked or rated preference" implementation of the rated pairwise ballot).
