Notes on voting
===============

If you have not rated all candidates, it is important you read the
information below to ensure your vote reflects your views.

In summary:
- Not rating a candidate at all does NOT mean that they are automatically
ranked below other candidates.
- Additionally, a vote for ONE candidate is equivalent to an empty vote.

Read below for further details, and for information on how to vote in
general.

Voting preferences
==================
Your preference will best be shown when you specify *all candidates*, in
order of preference (i.e. "XYZWTUV", X being the most preferred). Voting
"XY" states that you prefer candidate X to Y.

**************************************************
* However, it does not express any preference *
* relationships for any of the other candidates. *
**************************************************

Namely, in an election of ABC, a vote of AB would mean you are happy
with a final result of:
- A>B>C
- C>A>B
- A>C>B
