Weak Participation
Adding a new ballot shouldn't cause the defeat of the candidate whom that ballot votes over all of the other candidates.
Comments:
Causing that candidate's defeat is much worse than merely causing a lower choice to lose to a still lower choice. Weak-Participation is more important than Participation.
Instant-Runoff meets Weak-Participation. Majority-Judgment and Condorcet fail Weak-Participation.

Famous quotes containing the word weak:
“An artist is only an ordinary man with a greater potentiality—same stuff, same make up, only more force. And the strong driving force usually finds his weak spot, and he goes cranked, or goes under.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
