Approval quorums dominate participation quorums
We study direct democracy with population uncertainty. Voters’ participation is often among the desiderata by the election designer. A participation quorum is a threshold on the fraction of participating voters below which the status quo is kept. We show that participation quorums produce incentive for partisans of the status quo to abstain, with the consequence that the status quo may be kept ...
متن کاملQuorums from Diierence Covers
Maekawa considered a simple but suboptimal grid-based quorum generation scheme in which N sites in the network are logically organized in the form of a p N p N grid, and the quorum sets are row-column pairs. Even though the quorum size 2 p N of the grid scheme is twice as large as nite projective plane with optimal sized quorums, it has the advantage of being simple and geometrically evident. A...
متن کاملApproval Quorums Dominate Participation
We study direct democracy with population uncertainty. Voters’ participation is often among the desiderata by the election designer. We show that with a participation quorum, i.e. a threshold on the fraction of participating voters below which the status quo is kept, the status quo may be kept in situations where the planner would prefer the reform, or the reform is passed when the planner pref...
متن کاملQuorums based mobiles location scheme
Mobile location management is one of the most important problems in the mobile networks systems. Indeed, reducing the search cost increases the update cost and vice versa. That's why, a trade off between the search cost and update cost must be defined. This paper proposes a location management scheme based on quorums. The communication cost is reduced with our method because the information on ...
