'''Asset voting''' is used to refer to a voting system in which votes are considered as "assets" given to candidates. If no candidate gets more than the winning threshold (i.e., a majority, in the [[Single-winner voting system|single winner]] case; generally speaking, a [[Droop quota|Droop]] or Hare Quota), then the candidates can redistribute "their" votes to other candidates until a winner exists.
Line 68 ⟶ 69:
Asset passes [[Independence of Smith-dominated Alternatives]], because once the negotiators start discussing electing Smith set members, they won't be able to form a coalition in favor of a non-Smith candidate, and any Smith candidate is likely to be viable since there is a [[beat-or-tie path]] between all of them.
Under certain assumptions, Asset passes [[Pareto efficiency|Independence of Pareto-dominated alternatives]]. This is because the Pareto-dominating alternative will [[pairwise beat]] the Pareto-dominated alternative, and there is no incentive for any negotiator to elect the Pareto-dominated alternative instead of the Pareto candidate. So the negotiators would have an incentive to discard consideration of any Pareto-dominated alternatives.
