Hi all,

To me, a slightly better approach would have been to divide the 70 candidates into 7 blocks of 10 each, chosen in a random way, but the block remaining fixed. Then force the voter to visit each block and view the candidates ( so that nobody has any undue advantage). After that, the voter will have the choice to choose any or all or none......

(Disclaimer : I am one of the candidates).

Just for quick context: I was mostly trying to say that any *simple* system may have benefits in the scenario when you don't have the resources to make a complex system work properly (read: userfriendly). A 7-member district was intended as shorthand for "out of these 70 people, pick 7 favorites". That does not allow as much nuance as ranking, but it also has much less mental load. There are more systems that would have been easier on the voter, most likely. I fear that with the 'rank these 70 people into an order of 70' will scare away too many participants.

I am curious what is meant by a "7-member district".  Lodewijk, could you explain in more detail?
