The device marks, or helps to Information Security: Protecting information and information systems from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction in order to provide integrity, confidentiality, and availability. Ranked order has comma problem with “or” The practice is also known as instant runoff voting, preferences or preferential voting, or choice voting.
