View source for Strategy Advisor based on Randomized Voter Order

'''Strategy Advisor based on Randomized Voter Order''' or '''SARVO''' is a category of [[Declared strategy voting]] methods devised by Warren Smith.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-October/082706.html|title=declared strategy voting / Sarvo-range voting|date=2005-10-25|last=Smith|first=Warren D.}}</ref> All SARVO methods are cardinal single-winner methods: the voters report their utility should X win the election, for every candidate X, and choose whether the method should strategize on their behalf or not.

In the election-methods post, Warren defined SARVO for [[Range voting]], but it can be straightforwardly applied to any [[weighted positional method]].

The method calculates the winner as follows:

# For every possible way to order the ballots, or a sufficiently large random sample of these:
## For voter v = 1 ... number of voters, in the given order:
### If voter v has chosen not to let the method strategize, pass the ballot to the underlying method (turning ratings into rankings if required).
### Otherwise, determine a good strategic ballot given the election result so far (typically using the [[Tactical_voting#Myerson-Weber strategy|Myerson-Weber strategy]]). Submit this ballot.
## Add each candidate's score in previous election to their total score.
# Elect the candidate with the greatest total score.
