what you're describing is not weighted voting, however this line: 'List in order of preference' suggests that the voting would indeed be weighted (each of the first mentioned sets gets 5p, second one on everyones list gets 4p etc and then all the points each set got are summed and the one with most points wins) now, if it's just like icon votings, the order in which the sets are listed in everyone's votes shouldn't matter, each of the 5 sets a voter listed gets 1 point only, so that the one that was mentioned most often (in any place in the lists) wins. I hope this explains it :>
I meant when we vote for our 5 favourite sets, should we be ranking them in order of preference because the voting is weighted and the first set we vote for has the most weighting, or does the order of the sets not matter?
Oh right, in that case is it too late to change my vote?
(Also you might want to include that in the voting post next time because it wasn't clear at the start and I think several other people would have done the same as me)

I missed the instruction about putting the votes in order of preference, and just put them in numerical order the first time. *whoops*

Yes, I will next time. Sorry!
