The Supraconsent run off system or The Supraconsent electoral run off system or The SEROS system or The Supraconsent system / Vulgar: The Superconsent system

The Supraconsent electoral run off system, is a voting system invented by Antonio Dimasi so as to eliminate the doubt when two candidates running for electoral office have a too close winning margin.

The system consist of two different colored and separated ballot papers, on the first we find a simple Candidate A or Candidate B choice.

When the differential between the two candidates is dead on 0.8 percentage point or less as officialized by the various country electoral commission/entity, then a technical parity is assumed. In this case enter in consideration the second ballot paper, where the electorate consider to give consent if the choice of the first ballot paper is not selected with a above 50.8 percentage win to then consider the willingness of accepting the candidate of the sencond ballot paper to win if the percentage of the second paper is above the threshold of  technical parity.

Considerations on the 50.8 percentage threshold: Successive studies shows that when a second run between the top 2 voted candidates is approaching, the marginal difference in pencentage points vanish as the ballot day approach. This is due to the unequivocal binary choice given to the electorate, no matter how one of the two is unpopular in a multitude (more then two) of candidates, when the populace is confronted with a binary choice the difference in voting intention vanish and tend to equalize. As any number in percentage can be taken as arbitrary, it is assumed after different studies on presidential run off systems that the 0.8 percentage point is the sweet deal between a psycological assumed margin of error in counting and a clear level where above that margin is difficult to consider technical involuntary faults/tampering.

The question on the second paper ballot could be the following: In case your choice of candidate in the first ballot paper is in technical parity i.e (nobody won with certainty) do you consent of taking into consideration the second ballot for the purpose of aknoledging a clear winner?

In case the first ballot is in technical parity and the sencond too, then the first ballot take seniority and the candidate with more counted vote win irrespective of the thin margin (the chance of the double ballot parity is 1 in 790.000) so extremely unlikely.

If the first ballot is in technical parity but the second is not and irrespective if contraddict or confirm the technical win on the first ballot then the second ballot paper take seniority.

Any first ballot paper win over 50.8 is declared the outright winner irrespective of the second ballot paper result.

Advantages: The outright and clear winner just after the election count.

The almost impossibility of a parity and the win with clear margins.

Give the option and responsability to the electorate to consider that if the first choice selected on the first ballot paper doesnt get a clear and inequivocable mandate, then to consider consenting or not to (accept) the other candidate option.

Statistical studies on the aforementioned system do not have a clear bias toward the progressive or conservative camp, the fluctuation of confirming the first choice or not in the second ballot paper or even abstaning from using the second ballot paper at all show that the difference in the system bias between a traditional and progeressive electorate is almost negligable.

Disadvantages: The shifting of the Ballot papers seniority depending on the results as explained above can cause confusion for the laymen.
