Only public goods may get public money. So an item needs support from 8 voters.A finish line marks this level of cards.
Each column here holds just $2.So a $4 item must fill 2 columns.
You get two 25¢ cards and a tall 50¢ card.

Place only one card in a column. Give your tall card to your favorite item.
Drop the item with the lowest % filled. Drop any that cost more than all cards.
Move your card from a loser’s column. Don’t put a vote over a full column.
Stop when all items are funded. Each voter helps fund winners !

Each funding level is like another project. The “$4 OJ” level has two columns. The “$6 OJ” has just one more column. You must help fill the lower level first.
One at a time, the weak levels lose.
An agency starts at 80% of its old budget.So a voter cannot, “Take a free ride.”

The winner must top every rival, one-against-one. Two examples:
Flag C is at the center of the group. Three flags surround C, 5’ from it.
Ask, "Are you closer to flag A than B? If so, please raise your hand." Then test A against C, etc. We put each total in a Pairwise table.

A pole stands at our center. It holds a short Red ribbon and a long Blue one.
If the Red ribbon gets to you, the Red policy gets your vote.
But if the Red cannot touch you, the wide appeal of the Blue policy gets your vote. Which one wins?

Old ballots allow a “yes” vote to only one candidate, “no” to all the rest; This polarizes voters.
Full-choice ballots: Rank 1st choice, 2nd choice, 3rd ... Reveal moderate points of view.

AccurateDemocracy.com has pages on the logic, uses and effects of voting rules, plus a teacher’s guide, printer-ready cards and software for anonymous voting.
For anonymity on a tabletop, put your ballot in a box and pull out another voter’s, or a “mailed-in” ballot.
Only small groups can use tally boards for actual voting. Larger groups use paper ballots tallied by computer.

No “dumping”.Put only one card in a column.Give your tall card to your favorite item.Don’t waste a vote on top of a full column.
Each column holds just $ .So a costly item must fill several columns.

In Budget Refill Voting for departments:
A big agency has several columns to fill.
The columns each need $100... for the agency to reach last year’s budget; that is its refill line.
A supporter’s card helps refill a column. Voters can push it above its goal line. But its gain is another program's loss.

A council of 20 decides each item needs modest support from 10 members to restore its funding. So a column needs 10 cards from 10 voters to reach its refill line.
They want to budget 4 low-cost activities with 1 column each, plus 3 costly programs with 2 each. Those 10 columns X 10 cards to refill = 100 cards.
The 100 cards / 20 voters = 5 cards for each voter; that's 1 double and 3 singles. You may put only 1 of your cards in a column.
