if you’d really like everyone to number every song

If you've given them all a listen, it shouldn't be hard to quickly number the rest without just picking randomly. Personally, (this is an opinion and not a rule) I think it's insincere to pick a song as the favourite without listening to all the others.

Also, if we look at the two ballots already submitted, if they only had their #1 vote tallied then "International" and "From the river to the sea" are tied as the favourite, but the preferences make it clear that one of those would far better represent the community's collective favourite song and prevent the need for a second tiebreaker election. There's also no incentive for newer ballots to try and tiebreak by pretending a song is their favourite when it isn't.

Your ballot will count until your preferences run out, but I'd really prefer if you ranked them all.

It’s hard to tell if the ballot is satire

It's real, I'm just parodying the upcoming election because we're using a similar voting method (Instant-runoff voting).

Haha, at this stage i think we'd better go for non-compupsory preferential voting.

So yeah, vote for as few as you like. ;)
