I'd be curious Neal for your response to what I understand is the major complaint against RRV and SPV methods -- namely that voters often are confused by them. Perhaps this electorate is sufficiently attuned that it would not suffer that problem ... but am I correct that it can be a problem, I think, in other settings.

Joonas, I have made the case for a Proportional Representation (PR) method to be used, and STV (a PR method) would be an improvement over the current approach, I think. Reweighted Range Voting (RRV) is another worthy option.
