Poll description

Five people from the list below will become the members of the Community Committee (CC). Assign weights to each person according to how much you want them to be in the committee (higher weight = higher preference). The system will assume you want to maximize the sum of weights of selected candidates.

If you want to keep things simple and just rank people individually, give them weights that are successive powers of two. I.e. your least favored candidate gets 1, then 2, 4, 8, 16, and the most favored gets 32. If you do that, feel free to ignore the text below.

A more complex example
If you give Jerry a weight of 10 and give Tom a weight of 9, that means you prefer Jerry over Tom, because 10 > 9.
If you give Spike a weight of 20, that would mean you not only prefer Spike over Tom OR Jerry, but also over Tom AND Jerry, because 20 > 10 + 9.
OTOH if you give Spike a weight of 18, that would mean you prefer Spike over Tom OR Jerry, but you prefer Tom AND Jerry over Spike, because:
9 < 10 < 18 < 9 + 10
Tom < Jerry < Spike < Tom and Jerry

Preference matrix

There are 21 possible sets of 5 choices that can be formed by selecting from the 7 choices. Of these, 6 sets were considered thoroughly, comparing against the 11 nearby (similar) sets that differ in just one choice.

This is the voting preference matrix, reporting maximal valid proportional preferences. Fractional digits indicate nonproportional preferences, which help break ties in proportional preference.
