However, I think Adrian has made a point that there are some non-obvious consequences if you don't fully rank a ballot. For example, failing to rank FD has effects you may not intend. 1----2 is more likely to be intended than 1----- Both are valid votes. And yeah, I've intentionally ranked FD the same as something else before. But I think you are less likely to confuse yourself if you rank everything. So my preference would be to: 1) Recommend people rank everything 2) Continune to specify what happens if they don't. 3) Continue to accept ballots if they do not.
