Since the question of the poll is on suitability for use in public
elections:

  1. IRV
  2. STAR
  3. Approval with separate runoff
  4. Approval
  5. All nominees not listed above or below
  6. Plurality

I approve through the 3rd-ranked alternative, inclusive.

For the record, I would probably rank IRV about ninth out of all the
nominees in theory, but the vast majority are too complicated or
politically infeasible for use in public elections.

I reserve the right to alter this ballot at any time prior to the close of
the poll.
