It does seem mad, to have to put candidates you dont like, in an order.
Yet, it is just as ludicrous to put candidates you like equally into an
order as well. So I sugest this:
----- Sample ----------------------
Please assign the candidates according to how you feel about them. Give
them a rating of 1 (or 0) if you dont like them to 10 to give full support.
You dont have to number boxes you do not wish to. Also note, assigning a
number above 10 reduces it to 0. This has no effect on (other) legitimate
markings.
[ 5 ] Blue Party
[ 9 ] Green Party
[ 9 ] Red Party
[ ] Yellow Party
----- End Sample -----------------
How is this counted? All the numbers are added together for each party.
Preferencial voting would have to be scrapped in the senate elections.
Quotas are formed by adding All of the numbers together.
