What if I want to rank only one candidate?
You can rank only one candidate, and your vote will still count. But if your first-choice is eliminated, your vote won’t transfer.

Should I rank my least favorite candidate in the last spot?
No, you shouldn’t rank your least favorite candidate at all. Only rank candidates you could live with. Ranking someone means your vote could go to their campaign.

Should I rank my favorite candidate more than once?
No. Your vote can count only once for your first choice. If you rank the same candidate first, second, and third, it is the same as leaving the second and third choices blank.

If I rank other candidates does it affect my first choice?
No. Ranking other candidates does not affect your first choice. Only your first choice is counted in Round 1. Your second, third, fourth, and other choices will be considered only if your first-choice candidate is eliminated.
