Neither do we want to completely alter this specific election. In this way, it is far more democratic to have one vote per user rather than three, as the need for democracy was the reason why these elections were made. Tri-Rollback elections only means there will be three users chosen, it does not also mean that there will be 3 votes per user. In the real world there are some types of voting where you can vote for multiple candidates, such as IRV, where you rank your choices in order of the votes. It'll be implemented in Maine after a referendum implementing it passed last year, and it's easily the best system possible, ensuring a candidate must get a majority of the votes to win. In this case, we could use it to see who got the most first choices, then second choices, then third choices, which also helps filter out bad candidates who have enough solid support to get second in the first round but virtually everyone else has them as their last or close to last choice.
