America is an example for other countries to follow for democracy. Our constitution is also the best in the world. However, to make sure America progresses well, we have to make an informed choice to appoint an honest government, ready to work for our country’s development. While we citizens have many rights, we also have certain responsibilities towards maintaining our country’s democratic standards. Looking at how difficult lives are for people living in communist countries, we should be glad we have the right to choose the people who will lead us. Here, we will discuss how our esteemed followers can vote for their preferred choice.
Voting Process
Our website users get the opportunity to cast votes for their preferred candidates. Our admin will list all the candidates for a category like:
- Candidate 1
- Candidate 2
- Candidate 3
- Candidate 4
- Candidate 5
- Candidate 6
- Candidate 7
Users can choose as many candidates as they want (more on the hierarchy in the following section). However, the minimum number of choices for each user is two. Therefore, you cannot make a single selection for the vote.
Initially, the admin will “rank” the candidates in no special order to avoid bias.
Voting Hierarchy
No matter how many candidates you choose, you need to “rank” them based on your preference. For example, if you select three candidates, you need to assign a number to each in order of your choice. So, for example, you can choose Candidate 5 as your 1st choice, Candidate 3 as your 2nd choice, and Candidate 1 as your 3rd choice.
You can do this for all candidates, too.
Voting Calculation
Once our users have cast their vote, we calculate the results in multiple rounds.
For the first round, we check which candidate has been ranked 1st by the most users, who is chosen 2nd, and so on. Then, the last candidate is terminated from the round. Now, for the people who chose the eliminated candidate as their first choice, their vote will automatically shift to their 2nd choice. The ranking will shuffle based on the new results.
The next round will be the same as the first. Candidates will be eliminated, and their ranking spots will change until only one is left. Users can also comment on the office anonymously, and others can agree or disagree.
Please note: The comment box is limited to 245 characters for each response.
