Still, I would expect than many voters would come up with slightly different ballot sheets when having to do it several times. Did I give these 3 or 4 options the same low rank? Even if not required most Debian voters seem to give complete orderings https://www.debian.org/vote/2019/vote_001_tally.txt https://www.debian.org/vote/2019/vote_001_tally.txt in "normal" elections.
