Manipulation in Voting: Strategic Voting and Strategic Nomination
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper the concepts of manipulation as strategic voting (misrepresentation of true preferences) and strategic nomination (by adding, or removing alternatives) are investigated. The connection between Arrow’s and Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorems is discussed from the viewpoint of dilemma between dictatorship and manipulability.

Strategic Manipulation in Voting Systems
In this thesis, we are going to study the strategic manipulation of voting rules, mostly scoring rules. In the first part, we focus on naive manipulation, where we have a coalition of manipulators and the other voters vote sincerely. In Section 1.4 we introduce a new measure of manipulability of voting rules, which reflects both the size and the prevalence of the manipulating coalitions and is ...
متن کاملSingle Transferable Vote Resists Strategic Voting
We give evidence that Single Tranferable Vote (STV) is computationally resistant to manipulation: It is NP-complete to determine whether there exists a (possibly insincere) preference that will elect a favored candidate, even in an election for a single seat. Thus strategic voting under STV is qualitatively more difficult than under other commonly-used voting schemes. Furthermore, this resistan...
متن کاملStrategic voting and the logic of knowledge
We propose a general framework for strategic voting when a voter may lack knowledge about other votes or about other voters’ knowledge about her own vote. In this setting we define notions of manipulation and equilibrium. We also model action changing knowledge about votes, such as a voter revealing its preference or as a central authority performing a voting poll. Some forms of manipulation ar...
متن کاملVoting Systems and Strategic Manipulation: an Experimental Study
This paper presents experiments analyzing the strategic behavior of voters under three voting systems: plurality rule, approval voting, and the Borda count. Strategic behavior is significantly different under each treatment (voting system). Plurality rule leads voters to play in a more sophisticated manner, but not necessarily insincerely, displaying the lowest levels of manipulation. The oppos...
متن کاملVoting System: elections
A voting system allows voters to choose between options. And, an election is an important voting system to select a cendidate. In 1951, Arrow’s impossibility theorem in [1] showed that intuitively desirable criteria were mutually contradictory. Gibbard(1973) [2] and Satterthwaite(1975) [3] independently proved that for at least three alternatives, every Pareto optimal and non-manipulable choice...
