I expect a proportional representation vote might be beyond the forum software

What would be the groups however to split votes? A Single Transferable Vote would probably be the optimal method and the one I'd have used if the polls had such functionality - ie you'd vote for your 1st, 2nd, 3rd and so forth and then you vote cascades if a single clear winner isn't apparent. Alas the polls are quite simple, the most advanced bit I do is turn off the ability to change votes as we get towards the closing date. I expect there are voting add-ons, but I've not looked recently. The two votes seems to have been a popular experiment at least.

I think voting is a bit of miniature you like, style you like, pure quality, and just feeling. I hope everyone feels they can vote for whatever tickles their fancy. I don't think there were any that some element of them didn't appeal to me. Very hard to pick indeed. We've had a good turn out this year, I expect that's because it's a little later and people may have finished at work or be winding down and pottering about their hobbies a bit! So that's been good. Anyhow few hours to go!

I like STV, but given that the number of voters are in the dozens it is not worth the effort to implement something special. I applaud the fact that the competition exists at all.

I needed at least 4 votes (probably 5 counting the Pink Horror), so I'm OK with any system, really. I'm the kind of person that finds reason to vote almost for every model.
 
However many votes you give, you could end up with a joint winner. I'm happy with a joint winner to be honest. It's not like there's any major prize riding on it. "We like both these best" is fine by me. I don't know if there's a way to remove self voting next year (I'm not saying either person did), but all in all, I don't really mind. I think 2 or 3 equal votes is probably the best given the limitations of the system. Enough to spread the joy but not so many that we have 18 joint winners 🤣
