Comments:
- The Borda Count Method: http://www.ctl.ua.edu/math103/Voting/borda.htm#The Borda Count Method
- I'd actually prefer "Approval Voting" - see the IEEE for an example. But STV is definitely better than FPP.
- You need to explain these methods in much more detail - lots of people aren't familiar with the STV system (give examples of countries where it is used etc)
- The description of these two methods could have been clearer.
- the wording on this poll is insulting, clear bias is shown
- STV is non-monotonic - what about Approval Voting, Borda, Condorcet, LPR, LER, etc?
- I don't understand what these options mean. Qualified majority sounds a bit easier to me
- Explain it more, please!
- FPP for the Executive or whenever only one person is to be elected; some form of proportional representation or STV for the Panel and committees.
- It is not a clear question!
- Not enough options; please provide more information about given options!
- The question needs to explain more clearly just how these systems would work in our case.
- As a system by which the elected person can claim majority support (even if not everybody's first choice), STV produces much more legitimate outcomes than FPP, where people often get elected on laughably small percentages.
- After doing a quick google and open directory search I'd like more options to choose from. And more detailed explanations of each option.
