I think the best voting method at this time is popularity-contest.  Make sure you have PARTICIPATE set to "yes".  

Of course the vote is stacked somewhat in favor of systemd-sysv, since it is the default and in some cases unavoidable due to dependencies of desktop software.  So all of the "systemd-sysv" votes in popularity-contest represent either:  

1) people who prefer systemd-sysv
2) people who got systemd-sysv as a result of dependencies of installing a package that they really do want
3) people who don't care enough to switch away from the default, or 
4) people who aren't aware of the options, don't know what an init system is, etc.
