A third vote winner is a candidate in a Lovian election who receives many votes from sympathizers that do not actually support that candidate, but give him or her their vote because they have three votes to give and no other candidates they support. It is a quintessentially Lovian phenomenon caused by the three vote-system. The CPL.nm wished to minimize this effect in 2010 and replace it with a system that allowed voters to grade their cast votes, thus reducing the number of votes achieved by the third vote winner. The proposal was accepted by Congress on July 4, 2010, becoming the Fifth Amendment.

abstract
  • A third vote winner is a candidate in a Lovian election who receives many votes from sympathizers that do not actually support that candidate, but give him or her their vote because they have three votes to give and no other candidates they support. It is a quintessentially Lovian phenomenon caused by the three vote-system. The CPL.nm wished to minimize this effect in 2010 and replace it with a system that allowed voters to grade their cast votes, thus reducing the number of votes achieved by the third vote winner. The proposal was accepted by Congress on July 4, 2010, becoming the Fifth Amendment. The term "third vote winner" was coined by The Noble City Times during the Mid-term Elections, 2010. It was first used in reference to independent candidate Christina Kay Evans.
