Cindy's ballot makes sense, except for the need for a runoff. Do we have anything about runoffs?

Voting Discussion: We're Screwing In Light Bulbs AIFG!
We open it up, we talks the talk, we votes, we shuts it down. This thread is to free up Bureaucracy for daily details as we hammer out the Big Issues towards a vote. Open only when a proposal has been made and seconded according to Buffista policy (Which we voted on!). If this thread is closed, hie thee to Bureaucracy instead!

What is even happening?
Kat, I think the run-off vs. preferential voting was something we decided to take as it came, rather than lock ourselves into one method. I think we decided that was up to the proposer, but I can't find any rules regarding the situation.
Here's the voting FAQ: [link] and the Cheesebutt document: [link]
I think the ballot needs to state that people are voting on the possibility of one thread. If most want a new thread at all, a runoff of the top 4 options across both questions will start after the first vote is counted.
le nubian, I think you're right that the ballot should limit us to one thread. I'm glad we're going to get to vote on spoiler policy when we're thumbs upping or downing a thread.

I'm back.
Do we have final wording?
We also need a vote counter, which I'll be if no one else steps up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
Still awaiting final wording.
I think the ballot needs to state that people are voting on the possibility of one thread. If most want a new thread at all, a runoff of the top 4 options across both questions will start after the first vote is counted.
I think that if we do a runoff, the runoff needs to have the option of no new thread.
I am very concerned that the structure of the vote (with all the different options) will allow for a thread to be created that a majority (over 50%) of the voters do not want. I do not think this would be a Good Thing, but YGTMV.
