    Are you sure about that ? What if it's a 5-way tie as often happens ? Who gets 'best answer then ?

    Either alphabetical order or the one who is most active on EP. I get a lot of tie votes because I'm very active and have been here a while

    I think it's the person who answers first when the asker doesn't chose.

    The poster makes that decision. But often they don't make any decision at all.

    Yes , I know . That's my question . If the poster doesn't pick a 'best answer ' it says the best answer was chosen by voting . Who's doing the voting ? I've never been asked to vote .

    Oh sorry, i misunderstood. So then the most people who click "Like". So i would imagine if it was a multi-way tie, no one would get it.
