Ok, here's what I have in mind:

A new voting page where you have X votes that you can distribute among 
the candidates. X can be fairly large, usually 5 but in some realms a 
powerful duke might have 50 or so. But that'll be a rare exception. I 
_might_ set a limit of votes-per-candidate, but I'm not sure, yet.

Personally, I prefer Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) where you get to rank your
choices and the voting proceeds in rounds where if no one gets over 50%, the
candidate with the least votes is eliminated and the votes of the people
voting for him are redistributed according to their second choices, etc.
etc.  It simulates having an arbitrary number of runoffs until someone gets
over 50%.
