What voting method are you using?

Question

Since the election is for Pro Webmaster, I'm asking it here.

How does the voting take place?

• First past the post
• Alternative Transferable Vote
• Single Transferable Vote

Not that it really matters, I'm just curious.

Answer 1

If you look at the primary and election tabs for those phases, the sidebar has the info you are looking for.

Primary:

After 4 days, the top 10 candidates based on primary vote score proceed onward to the election phase.

Election:

After 4 days, the final voting results will be freely downloadable from this page forever, and we will calculate the 3 winners using OpenSTV with the Meek STV method.
