Error in the priority list diagram? B should be an abstention. It would also be clearer if C and D voted in different ways so that C can be seen to override D (I’m assuming that’s how it works)
Good catch Mako! There was an error in the priority list diagram. Yet, as I understand a priority list, it should choose the first active vote – including abstention. So if the first one in the priority list doesn’t vote but the second votes abstention, the voter would abstain. Does it make sense? I’ve updated the diagram. Thanks for pointing out the error!

I’ve never thought of abstentions as having a distinct meaning from to voting but I guess that makes sense, if you can draw that distinction, why not.
