I would want many reforms to the voting process to happen, mainly:In post 371, Deimos27 wrote:What do you think about the suggestion then that someone who wants to abstain can do so while continuing to participate at the cost e.g. of all other candidates receiving 2nd preference points (3). That eliminates the relative advantage they would have gained without distorting the relative rankings of the other players. Would thatstillbe disagreeable to you?
A player may choose to announce their withdrawing from the race. They may no longer be voted for, and any player attempting to vote for them will not vote for anyone at that rank. Note that a Withdrawn play may still vote, or may choose not to vote.
A player may choose to rank as many or as few players onto each line as they want, however each other player's name may only appear once in their ranking, even if this would cause multiple or no players on each rank. (So, a player may rank 2 or more players in 2nd, and may choose to not rank anyone at 1st).
