=== Draft 3 ===
:''published December 7, 2018''
:Goal:
:<blockquote>Hold a primary election with an Approval Voting-style ballot, providing motivation for all candidates to achieve the highest approval rating, and resulting in a general election Ballot Satisfaction Score of at least 75%. The "Ballot Satisfaction Score" is the percentage of the electorate which approves of at least one candidate on a given ballot.</blockquote>
:Candidates advancing to the general election must qualify for one of the following "Pools":
:* "Supermajority Candidate Pool" - all candidates who receive greater than 75% approval
:* "Plurality Candidate Pool" - all candidates who receive greater than 50% approval, but do not qualify for the Supermajority Candidate Pool. If no candidate receives greater than 50% approval, this pool may contain candidates with less than 50% approval.
:* "Opposition Candidate Pool" - a subset of candidates who receive greater than 40% approval, but do not qualify for the Plurality Candidate Pool <br />
:Candidates that don't qualify for one of the above pools are "Non-advanced Candidates". By default, all candidates are Non-advanced Candidates until they qualify for one of the above Pools.
:Rules for filling the above Pools with qualified candidates:
:# Select the candidate who receives the highest approval rating. This is the "Top Candidate" and automatically qualifies for the general election ballot
:#* 1a. If the Top Candidate (and any other candidate) receives greater than 75% approval, add this candidate to the Supermajority Candidate Pool
:#* 1b. If the Top Candidate receives less than 75% approval, add this candidate to the Plurality Candidate Pool
:# Add all other candidates who receive greater than 50% approval to the Plurality Candidate Pool
:#Evaluate the Ballot Satisfaction Score. If the Ballot Satisfaction Score is greater than 75%, skip to step 5 (candidate selection is complete). If the Ballot Satisfaction Score is less than 75%, proceed to step 4.
:#If there is more than one candidate in the Plurality Candidate Pool, attempt to add an equal number qualified candidates to the Opposition Candidate Pool, evaluating each Non-advanced Candidate using the following steps
:#*4a. Find the Non-advanced Candidate with the highest approval score. If this candidate has less than 40% approval, no further candidates qualify to be added to the Opposition Candidate Pool.
:#*4b. Add the Non-advanced Candidate from the previous step to the Opposition Candidate Pool.
:#*4c. If there are no other Non-advanced Candidates who received greater than 40% approval, or the Opposition Candidate Pool contains an equal number of candidates to the Plurality Candidate Pool, proceed to step 5. Otherwise, skip back to step 3.
:#Candidate selection is complete. Advance all candidates in the Supermajority Candidate Pool, the Plurality Candidate Pool, and the Opposition Candidate Pool to the general election.
