Hello,

I would like to quickly clarify a couple of points about the Emocracy voting method.

Emocracy is not a method with only three choices per candidate: -1, 0 and 1. There is a fourth choice that is very important: "I don't know".

A voter cannot approve of a candidate he doesn't know. If the voter does not know about the candidate's policies, morals etc. he can always vote "I don't know". This choice doesn't give any point to the candidate (or it gives -1 point if the scale goes from -1 to 1).

This article better describes the voting systems that are voting on in the voting system poll. It answers some objections, and it tells something of the merits of the methods, including some powerful guarantees that these methods offer.

The names and definitions will be repeated here, and then will follow comments about the methods.

-1,1

Each voter may give to any candidate -1 points or 1 point. A negative point or a positive point. The winner is the candidate with the highest point total, summed over all the ballots.

[end of -1,1 definition]

I’d like to get your opinion about four new voting system proposals.

There's an article about these methods in the Forum. It's entitled "The Voting Systems in the Voting System Poll".

There's no need to read the article unless you want to. I want your opinion whether you read the article or not. In fact, I mostly want your first impression, the way these voting systems seem to you without reading the article.
