Dear god no - that would be just foolish. I think I'd shoot myself before being the EO in that scenario.

The current system is working pretty darn well.

I agree, just pointing out the amount of pain changing it would cause.

I don't see anything wrong with including abstain in multi-choice polls such as the DP poll. Could we have abstain and none of the above in the DP poll?

So,then, what exactly does a vote for 'abstain' say that isn't covered by a vote for 'None of the above?'

 

[Furius]

Well, none of the above would count towards the total... So it's very useful for, say city placement polls... But for a DP poll? I dunno
