Note, however, that "deserving" is not the question. You should vote for the people you think would make the best mods. Those aren't necessarily the ones with the best candidate score or reputation.

Under STV, an elector (voter) has a single vote that is initially allocated to their most preferred candidate and, as the count proceeds and candidates are either elected or eliminated, is transferred to other candidates according to the voter's stated preferences, in proportion to any surplus or discarded votes.

At some point all your knowledge may be exausted ))) I wrote answers for a couple of years at forums.ubuntu.ru, when accidentally found AU. At a first glance it looked wierd for me and I did not use it. At some point I got how it works about a yer ago. Now I love SE and AU.
