I don't think it works though.
Unless you are careful, partisan voters will likely vote their candidate maximum and other candidates minimum - this is called bullet voting on Wikipedia.
Non-partisan voters will likely vote genuinely.
Since bullet voting is the dominant strategy, the election essentially reduces to First Past the Post and contains all the bad (majoritarian) incentives that FPTP does.

- paulgb 7y agoMy concern is that if even a small number of people bullet vote, other people will see that their votes have less impact and adjust accordingly, in a self-perpetuating cycle.
