Ja n 20 07 From a toy model to a complete weighted voting system
نویسنده
چکیده
We investigate systems of indirect voting based on the law of Penrose, in which each representative in the voting body receives the number of votes (voting weight) proportional to the square root of the population he or she represents. For a generic population distribution the quota required for the qualified majority can be set in such a way that the voting power of any state is proportional to its weight. For a specific distribution of population the optimal quota has to be computed numerically. We analyse a toy voting model for which the optimal quota can be estimated analytically as a function of the number of members of the voting body. This result, combined with the normal approximation technique, allows us to design a simple, efficient, and flexible voting system which can be easily adopted for varying weights and number of players.

متن کاملA Complete Geometric Representation of Four-Player Weighted Voting Systems
The relatively new weighted voting theory applies to many important organizations such as the United States Electoral College and the International Monetary Fund. Various power indexes are used to establish a relationship between weights and influence; in 1965, the Banzhaf Power Index was used to show that areas of Nassau County were unrepresented in the county legislature. It is of interest to...
متن کاملComplexity of comparison of influence of players in simple games
Coalitional voting games appear in different forms in multi-agent systems, social choice and threshold logic. In this paper, the complexity of comparison of influence between players in coalitional voting games is characterized. The possible representations of simple games considered are simple games represented by winning coalitions, minimal winning coalitions, weighted voting game or a multip...
متن کاملA New Voting Model For Groups With Members of Unequal Power and Proficiency
To proposing a voting model for groups with members of unequal power and proficiency, we present some models for rank ordering efficient candidates, by extending the ideas of some authors. Then, we propose a new methodology to rank the ranking models for the performance indices of only DEA efficient candidates based on a classical voting model. Also, an approach for combining the results obtain...
