I'm really, really not a fan of people "gaming" their votes just to "cause chaos" or whatever. Just vote your heart and let the results come what may. This is why, in an earlier nomination process, we moved away from poll voting, because the results where getting skewed/screwed up from non-participants. If people are doing that then I'm a fan of making the voting private (via PM), or at least making that an option to minimize the gaming.

I could even change it to always be six albums and leave space for a special 25th album each cycle, whether it be the annual holiday album or an emergency feature like we did with Pet Sounds. That way, more people get their chosen album through.

Not the worst idea here. I'm sure there's always a "bonus" album that could be plugged in, even if it's a "20/30/40th anniversary of xyz important album's release".

I'll say that I'm a fan of doing a sort of automatic tiebreaker resolution by counting back the number of 1st then 2nd then 3rd place votes and so on for the tied albums until one has more votes. In other words, if albums A and B are tied, then it goes to 1st place votes for the 2; if album A has a 1st place vote and album B doesn't, then album A is selected. If they tie on 1sts then it goes to 2nds and so on. Just a thought.
