I had a good long look at the possibility STV, of which I am a huge fan in general (see my previous post). It’s completely impossible to use it to generate a five-member ballot from write-in nominations. And I mean completely.
Basically the number of candidates who get a single first preference, and therefore face a first-round elimination, is usually at least a sixth (ie a quota) of the first preference votes. A lot of those are then simply lost to the process because they have no second preference. The numbers are small and the results look arbitrary and are difficult to defend even for the most diehard STV purist.
one has to rank the works to vote anyway
No, not really, apart from the binary ranking of whether you are nominating a particular work or not.
