Farr, Jason Yes We have used the method through Participatory Budgeting and I liked the system. It is fair and easy... even fun.

As well, my understanding is that it has a much greater potential to offer friendlier public debates at election time with candidates concentrating harder in getting a positive message out rather than attacking the others so as to gain a spot of second on the ranked list from the other candidates supporter.

Having just returned from the Durand debate, Ranked Balloting looks even better to me now then ever before. :)
Heaton, Kristina Yes Yes, ranked ballots is a good idea, since I've been involved with the Participatory Budgeting process last year, and People's Platform this year. It's a great tool to see what people want or need.
Wallis, Terri Yes
