Definite Majority Choice: Difference between revisions

Line 37:

X3 | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) |

X3 | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) |

X4 | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) |

</pre>

Line 45:

# Candidates ranked fourth, fifth and unranked receive no approval points.

# A higher-ranked candidate is given one vote in each of its head-to-head contests with lower-ranked candidates. In particular, all explicitly ranked candidates are given 1 vote in each of their contests with unranked candidates.

As an example, say a voter ranked candidates as follows:

<pre>

+-----------------------+---------------+

|<-- Favorite Least Preferred -->|

+-----------------------+---------------+

|<-- Approved -->| Not Approved |

+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+

| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |

-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+

X1 | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | (X) | ( ) |

| | | | | |

X2 | (X) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) |

| | | | | |

X3 | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) | (X) |

| | | | | |

X4 | ( ) | (X) | ( ) | ( ) | ( ) |

-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+-------+

</pre>

This vote would be counted as

X2 > X4 >> X1 > X3

And the following votes would be entered into the pairwise array:

{| border="1"

! !! X1 !! X2 !! X3 !! X4

|-

! X1 || 0 || 0 || 1 || 0

|-

! X2 || 1 || 1 || 1 || 1

|-

! X3 || 0 || 0 || 0 || 0

|-

! X4 || 1 || 0 || 1 || 1

|}
