Resolves to whichever candidate is winning the ranked choice comment vote by market close on election day. An iterative process is used, wherein the candidate with the least rank 1 votes is eliminated, everyone's rankings that included the eliminated candidate are moved up to fill the gap, then the candidate with the least new rank 1 votes is eliminated, until only one candidate remains. This is intended to allow voters to put as many obscure but potentially better candidates as they wish at higher rankings without fear of causing their preferred popular candidate to lose.
To vote, post a comment (or if you're worried about privacy, send me a DM, which I will publish anonymised to the comment section) including your ranking of candidates, with your top choice as number 1. Only your first comment that includes a ranking is counted, and only if not edited. You don't have to include all the candidates in your ranking. You may vote for as many write-in candidates not included in the market as you like, as long as they are current non-US heads of state/government of nations/unions recognised by at least one UN member. Votes after market close will not be counted.
Comments may also be used to advocate for specific candidates, joke around, ask questions etc without including a ranking.
