I hope its ok to talk about different voting methods in general because I have a few questions and ideas ahout them. Other than different levels of party control have the different levels of open list (which range from a person needing enough votes to win a seat outright to the party list being only for tiebreakers) been found to be better at different things or at different election levels? Are there any examples of 'anti-vote' options where you actively reject one or all of the candidates, other than 'none of the above' in Nevada, iirc? I'm especially interested if theres been any done in STV or similar voting methods.

PT6A posted:This may not be quite what you meant, but that's how voting works in some single-party states like Cuba. You either vote for the person the communist party has selected for whatever post, or you vote against them and in theory, when a candidate is rejected by a majority of voters, the communist party selects someone else. That sounds more like a preemptive recall election, but how often do voters reject candidates in that system? I would presume that unless a candidate is particularly bad the election is just a formality. kustomkarkommando posted:Well the Irish implementation of STV does not mandate voters to preference all available candidates, unlike Australian IRV, and requires only a minimum of one preference for a vote to be valid - voters can an do refuse to preference candidates they oppose and can design their ballots to preference all candidates in opposition to a single one (then you start getting into STV tactics which some people find a con of system, where you can front load your ballot with high preferences for candidates who will finish low on first count to maximize their chances of inching ahead of fringe candidates you dislike to ensure they are eliminated early - say the second candidate of a given party being eliminated before the first party candidate is elected and a life saving surplus transferred down ticket from loyal voters). That is similar to what I was looking for. How much of an issue is "transfer toxicity" for Ireland, because kinda seems like its working as intended? I dont know how politically active or informed Irish voters are but for a politician to be that disliked by the voters seems like they would have to be pretty poo poo.
