Ranked-Choice Question (Most realistic configuration)
Settings: 
  • Question Type: Multiple choice grid
  • Rows: The options voters are choosing from
  • Columns: The rank voters are giving (should be "1" or "1st")
  • Additional Options (3 dot menu): Limit one response per column, Shuffle row order

Explanation:
The multiple choice grid with rows as options and columns as rankings is the most similar to the real-world ranked-choice ballots used in places like Maine, Alaska, and New York City. Limiting one response per column protects the voter from "overvoting" and ranking more than one candidate the same rank. Shuffling the row order eliminates the bias of the first option in the list getting ranked higher.
