Editing Condorcet method (section)

===Voting===

In a Condorcet election the voter ranks the list of candidates in order of preference. If a ranked ballot is used, the voter gives a "1" to their first preference, a "2" to their second preference, and so on. Some Condorcet methods allow voters to rank more than one candidate equally so that the voter might express two first preferences rather than just one.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Condorcet|url=https://www.equal.vote/condorcet|access-date=2021-04-25|website=Equal Vote Coalition}}</ref> If a scored ballot is used, voters rate or score the candidates on a scale, for example as is used in [[Score voting]], with a higher rating indicating a greater preference.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Igersheim |first1=Herrade |last2=Durand |first2=François |last3=Hamlin |first3=Aaron |last4=Laslier |first4=Jean-François |date=January 2022 |title=Comparing voting methods: 2016 US presidential election |url=https://halshs.archives-ouvertes.fr/halshs-01972097/document  |journal=European Journal of Political Economy |language=en |volume=71 |pages=102057 |doi=10.1016/j.ejpoleco.2021.102057}}</ref> When a voter does not give a full list of preferences, it is typically assumed that they prefer the candidates that they have ranked over all the candidates that were not ranked, and that there is no preference between candidates that were left unranked. Some Condorcet elections permit [[write-in candidate]]s.
