Four Condorcet-Hare Hybrid Methods for Single-Winner Elections
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper examines four single-winner election methods, denoted here as Woodall, Benham, Smith-AV, and Tideman, that all make use of both Condorcet’s pairwise comparison principle and Hare’s elimination and reallocation principle used in the alternative vote. These methods have many significant properties in common, including Smith efficiency and relatively strong resistance to strategic manipulation, though they differ with regard to the minor properties of ‘Smith-IIA’ and ‘mono-add-plump’.

The Condorcet efficiency of Borda Rule with anonymous voters
The Condorcet winner in an election is the candidate that would be able to defeat each of the other candidates in a series of pairwise elections. The Condorcet efficiency of a voting rule is the conditional probability that it would elect the Condorcet winner, given that a Condorcet winner exists. A closed form representation is obtained for the Condorcet efficiency of Borda Rule in three candi...
متن کاملThe Random Pairs Voting Rule: Introduction and Evaluation With a Large Dataset
This paper introduces and evaluates the Random Pairs voting rule to show that it significantly improves upon the communication complexity of balloting methods requiring complete orderings of candidates while maintaining a high Condorcet efficiency. To this end, Random Pairs is compared to plurality, 2-approval, Borda, and range voting on elections constructed from Yahoo! users’ ratings of music...
متن کاملSorting Out Mechanical and Psychological Effects in Candidate Elections: An Appraisal with Experimental Data
The paper proposes a way to measure mechanical and psychological effects of majority runoff versus plurality electoral systems in candidate elections. Building on a series of laboratory experiments, we evaluate these effects with respect to the probability of electing a Condorcet winner candidate. In our experiment, the runoff system very slightly favours the Con...
متن کاملStrong Condorcet efficiency of scoring rules
In an election, an alternative is said to be a strong Condorcet winner when more than 50% of the voters rank this alternative first in their preference orders. The strong Condorcet efficiency of a voting rule is defined as the probability of electing the strong Condorcet winner, given that such an alternative exists. In this paper, we provide some analytical representations for the strong Condo...
متن کاملA new monotonic, clone-independent, reversal symmetric, and condorcet-consistent single-winner election method
In recent years, the Pirate Party of Sweden, the Wikimedia Foundation, the Debian project, the “Software in the Public Interest” project, the Gentoo project, and many other private organizations adopted a new single-winner election method for internal elections and referendums. In this paper, we will introduce this method, demonstrate that it satisfies e.g. resolvability, Condorcet, Pareto, rev...
