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.

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

I don't think the question of the poll has been formally stated. For me,
this means that no one can answer it yet. In any event, very little of
the discussion of each method, pro and con, has been about "suitability
for use in public elections".

I believe that objective was stated by Ossipoff in one of his initial
messages on the subject.
