Feel free to put in your votes and have a look at your results. As a shared link, we will all see what's going on. And we might compete for the input. Therefore, to do your testing, you may want to make your entire set of votes on your own 2 column spreadsheet, copy and paste into the Voting sheet, and zip over to the Report sheet to print a pdf of the results before anyone else can wreck your input. You should also replace the Tiebreaks sheet values too, which means you will want to copy and paste from a 10 column spreadsheet, specifically taylored to the test you are doing.

'''Standard Vote''' (abbreviated as '''SV''') is an election vote-counting method that chooses a single candidate by using ranked ballots and the sequential elimination of lowest counting candidates in two or three runoffs. Thereby addressing the unfairness of a single runoff voting system.
This method modifies [[Instant-Runoff Voting|instant runoff voting]] (IRV) by adding a second and possibly a third runoff with [[later-no-harm]] safeguards for runoff winners. It further modifies simple IRV by allowing the voter to mark more than one candidate at the same ranking level. These additions claim to improve on simple IRV by: more fairly counting a voter's
== Description ==
Voters rank the candidates using as many ranking levels as there are candidates, or to a limit as specified by the electing authority. Four levels is manually countable and a reasonable compromise as few voters will remember, nor be happy with, whomever their fifth and additional down ballot choices were.
This method begins with a first runoff. Candidates are eliminated one at a time in each runoff, with the final remaining (not-yet-eliminated) two candidates vote counts compared (effectively pairwise) to identify a winner and a runner-up. The method continues with a second runoff, in which the first runoff's runner-up is immediately withdrawn.
If no one is elected, a pairwise comparison is made of the first and second winners. The first winner will be elected if the second winner can do no better than a tie. Failing that, a third runoff occurs in which the first runoff's winner is immediately withdrawn.
If no one has
