I was also thinking of another approval with poll method.
1) Assume all candidates have equal chance of winning(this is 'poll' 1).
2) Set threshold to expected utility of election for each voter
3) Run the poll with only 50 voters
4) Assume all candidates have a chance of winning based on number of wins
in all poll runs
5) goto 2 (maybe do 10 cycles)
6) Run main election using expected utility from all the polls
This should stabilise on 1 candidate in the limit.
