Somehow , I doubt that.  In that case maybe we should just have 1 vote each.
All the photos entered were great, difficult to choose from and enjoyable to see !!!

Hi JA,
Thanks for Voting
Your assumption is correct. Every vote counts equally as 1 vote.
Whereas I agree with the sentiment that it would be good to have a higher weighting for your first choice, the system does not allow for such.
Responding individually to the thread, with a points allocation would achieve this, but this would divulge the identity and the choice of each voter, which is against the challenge policy.
However, with this in mind, a subtle change I have introduced already, means that multiple votes is optional. In other words, you can vote for just one if you so choose.
Agreed this is not the best solution, but the challenge is just a bit of fun, and multiple votes is a good way to share the love around a bit more, as the number of multiple votes allowed increases with the volume of entries.
So in some cases, it is not the best photo technically, or the best "on theme" interpretation, but a bit more random.
So please continue to support the Photo Challenges and keep it a fun distraction, open to all classes of photographers.
