RE: dPoll development update: Introducing multi choice polls and new content filters

Great update!

Now that you're able to select multiple answers -- it would be cool to have them ranked.

(With all this Steem-Alliance stuff going on -- a ranked ballot might serve as a useful tool in the coming weeks. Just a thought.)

Can you elaborate?

Thought it might be useful to put together a voting system for the steem-alliance board thats being elected -- or at least, a way of having multiple selections in a poll "ranked" based on the otlrder you would select them in.

Ranked ballot voting is an alternate to the traditional first-past-the-post voting system. With ranked ballots, rather than just choosing one candidate, voters rank the candidates according to their preference (first, second, third). The votes are counted and if one candidate receives a majority they win. If there is no majority the candidate with the least number of votes is eliminated and their voters' second choices are used and the votes are counted again. This continues until one candidate achieves a majority

Cpied from here as the first example I found.

I guess it makes the most sense for choosing a single person for a single position, so it might not be applicable.

Just a thought. Was drinking when I suggested it initially.
