For what it’s worth, I favour a system which gives each voter multiple votes which they can give to one or more candidates. The winner is the candidate with the most votes. No unpleasant arithmetic needed. The fun is in deciding what the effect is if voters should have just more votes than the number of candidates or a lot more.
