-- Olli,

I just asked these questions.
If you vote for all candidates, you have no power at all.
You maximize the power of your vote by voting for half of the candidates.
This would be the optimal strategy if you had no knowledge from pre-election polls.
However, the optimal strategy with information obtained from polls, is to vote for your
favourite and any other candidate you like that the poll says it would beat your
favourite.

Steph.

Do you mean to say that in Approval a vote counts towards the election of
several candidates? Do I have more power if I approve of several
candidates? Do I have most power if I approve all of them?
