Sorry Ardvark,Stathan makes my point better and more accurately than me I am not au fait with the full procedure but say the vote is for 5 places from a list of 7.You would be able to vote for UP TO five candidates--0-in order 1-5.Strategy might be to vote for just position one for your most favoured candidate thus depriving others of votes.A fair minded person might vote for five.The variance between these options gives a great disparity in numbers of votes cast.It will also depend on whether one ranks position one as 1 or 5 and the winner with lowest or highest numbers .
