3-4 minutes, mostly on playing through various elimination-order scenarios in my head and trying to ensure that my assigned values would still reflect my preferences in at least more likely scenarios.
The percentages I inputted were best guesses based on my qualitative impressions. If I’d been more quantitative about it, then I expect my allocations would have been better—i.e., closer to what I’d endorse on reflection. But I didn’t want to spend long on this, and figured that adding imperfect info to the commons would be better than adding no info.
IIRC it took me about a minute or two. But I already had high context and knew how I wanted to vote, so after getting oriented I didn’t have to spend time learning more or thinking through tradeoffs.
It took me ~1 minute. I already had a favourite candidate so I put all my points towards that. I was half planning to come back and edit to add backup choices but I’ve seen the interim results now so I’m not going to do that.
Probably about 30 minutes of unfocused thought on the actual voting. Mainly it was spent negotiating between what I thought was sort of best and some guilt and status based obligation stuff.
On top of that I perhaps read 2-4 articles and chatted to 1-2 people involved in orgs. I guess that was 1- 3 hours.
I think around 5-10 mins? I tried to compare everything I cared at all about, so I only used multipliers between 0 and 2 (otherwise I would have lost track and ended up with intransitive preferences). The comparison stage took the most time. I edited things in the end a little bit, downgrading some charities to 0.
If you voted in the Donation Election, how long did it take you? (What did you spend the most time on?)
I’d be really grateful for quick notes. (You can also private message me if you prefer.)

It took me just under 5 minutes.
