Isn't that what I said? If not, where did I get it wrong?

I limit the collection of ranking info to up to 3 rankings per voter, which is useful for practical purposes, and then treat the up to 3 rankings per voter as approval votes to determine which three of the umpteen candidates proceed. I then process those three with the standard IRV to find the winner. dlw dlw On Mon, Jun 24, 2013 at 10:24 AM, Benjamin Grant <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: So if I understand you: You have a single election. You permit people to rank up to 3 candidates, no more. You eliminate form consideration all but the top 3 people who were ranked, regardless of what rank they got. Then, with only those three left, you proceed to process them with standard IRV to find the winner. Is that a correct summation of you system, do I understand it right?

In my approach, I treat the rankings as approval votes in the first round and tally up the number of times each candidate gets "ranked" to determine 3 finalists.There are 10 ways to rank 3 finalists so I sort the votes into these 10 categories, tally them up and use the info to have an instant runoff vote among the 3 finalists. Ben, this is the approach that I said gave the same result for all of the cases you brought up in your initial email to the list, which illustrated why you thought IRV was flawed. dlw ---- Election-Methods mailing list - see http://electorama.com/em for list info
