Voter can select some of the choices. The number of selections made by voters are summed for each choice.

Voter must give one of the labels to each choices. The score of a choice in a ballot is determined by the chosen label (qualification of choice). For example if the labels are "bad" (1 point), "average" (2 points), "good" (3 points) and "good" is selected for choice "yellow" by the voter then the score of the choice "yellow" will be 3 in this ballot. Currently the order of the labels in the system is important, because this determines the number of points.

Voter must make an order of choices (first is the best). There are two analyze methods for calculating the result:

net binary rank score: pairwise comparison of choices is made in all ballots. If choice "green" comes before choice "red" in a ballot then the score of "green" will be increased by one, and the score of "red" will be decreased by one.

sum: it is the sum of ranking scores. The ranking score of a choice in a ballot is number of choices minus the ordinal number of the choice. For example let the ballot be the following: "green", "yellow", "blue", "other", "red". The score of the "yellow" choice is 3, because the number of choices is 5 and "yellow" is in the second place.

There is a given budget and the voter must distribute this budget to the choices. The received budget points are summed for each choice.
