Not really. Ever hear of a weighted objective matrix? If you haven't, I'll explain below.

Voting should only be used if two designs come out the same or extremely close to the same on a weighted objective matrix.

The way this sort of matrix works is the you have a number of requirements or goals, each with a weighting of how important it is. For example, rules compliance would get a 5 on a scale of 1-5, while "cool" gets maybe a 1 (if it's even considered). Each design is evaluated against the same set of requirements and given a score (on a scale of 1-5 or 1-10) on how well it meets that requirement. High score wins. Very close high scores get sent to a more detailed matrix for further evaluation, and the process repeats.
