For decision by majority, each voter often exercises his right by delegating to trustable other voters. Multi-step delegates rule allows indirect delegating through more than one voter, and this helps each voter finding his delegate voters. In this paper, we propose powerful voter selection method depending on the multi-step delegate rule. This method sequentially selects voters who is most delegated indirectly. Multi-agent simulation demonstrate that we can achieve highly fair poll results from small number of vote by using proposed method. Here, fairness is prediction accuracy to sum of all voters preferences for choices. In simulation, each voter selects choices arranged on one dimensional preference axis for voting. Acquaintance relationships among voters were generated as a random network, and each voter delegates some of his acquaintances who has similar preferences. We obtained simulation results from various acquaintance networks, and then averaged these results. Firstly, if each voter has enough acquaintances in average, proposed method can help predicting sum of all voters' preferences of choices from small number of vote. Secondly, if the number of each voter's acquaintances increases corresponding to an increase in the number of voters, prediction accuracy (fairness) from small number of vote can be kept in appropriate level.
