In theory you can although it would be futile to do so. Under SV, there are two columns on the ballot paper - one for voters to mark their first choice and one in which to mark a second choice.

All the first choices are then counted, and if a candidate has a majority, they are elected. If no candidate receives a majority, the top two candidates continue to a second round and all other candidates are eliminated. The second-choice votes of everyone whose first choice has been eliminated are then counted.

Any votes for the remaining candidates are then added to their first-round totals. Whichever candidate has the most votes after these second-preferences have been allocated is declared the winner.

Therefore, if you place a vote for a candidate and they make it through the first round then your second preference is not counted. If your candidate does not make it through the first round and you have voted for them again in the second round then your vote will be dis-guarded.

Yes, please do. ____________ Your vote is yours. No one can tell you who to vote for. It is your choice. Vote Democrat, vote Republican, vote for an independent candidate.
