=== Rated pairwise preference ballot ===
It is possible to treat every pairwise matchup as being a [[Score voting]] match-up where the voter can score both candidates on a scale. In this sense, the traditional pairwise preference idea of a voter giving one vote to their preferred candidate in a match-up is akin to them giving the max score to that candidate, and a min score to the other candidate. This may make it easier to think about the rated support and pairwise support that are both allowed with the [[rated pairwise preference ballot]].
 
If a voter scores the candidates, and indicates they want to put a maximal preference between all of then, then they could be allowed to only weaken their vote in some matchups manually, with all other matchups continuing to be assumed to be at maximal preference. See this discussion<ref>https://forum.electionscience.org/t/how-should-transitivity-be-handled-with-rated-pairwise-preferences/693</ref> for more about rated pairwise ballot designs and transitivity rules.
