Voting behavior under outside pressure: promoting true majorities with sequential voting?

Abstract When including outside pressure on voters as individual costs, sequential voting (as in roll call votes) is theoretically preferable to simultaneous recorded ballots). Under complete information, has a unique subgame perfect equilibrium with simple strategy guaranteeing true majority results. Simultaneous suffers from plethora of equilibria, often contradicting majorities. Experimental results, however, show severe deviations the not significantly more results than voting. Social considerations under voting—based emotional reactions toward behaviors previous players—seem distort equilibria.
