Line 1:
Distributed Score Voting (DSV) is a [[Single Member system|Single-Winner]] and [[Multi-Member System|Multi-Winner]] [[Cardinal voting systems| Cardinal voting system]].
 
In the [[Single Member system|Single-Winner]] part, it's similar to [[Smith//Score]]. In the [[Multi-Member System|Multi-Winner]] part, [[Distributed Multi-Voting]], the more preferred the winning candidate is in a vote, the more the weight of that vote is decreased in the choice of the next winner.

All candidates in the vote have 0 points by default.

===Counting the votes===
Line 109 ⟶ 111:
 
The complexity in writing the vote adapts to the voter, and it’s also noted that, if 101 or 99 points are mistakenly distributed, the vote will still be valid.

<b>IIA*</b>: X is a set containing all the preferred candidates over B. If I add C a less appreciated candidate (in head-to-head) than the candidates in X, then all candidates in X continue to be preferred over B.
 
This method also passes [[ISDA]].
 
All the criteria not met are linked to the fact that, through tactical votes, it's possible add / remove a candidate from the [[Smith set]].
 
- add one more candidate into the [[Smith set]] isn't a big problem because that additional candidate must then beat all the other candidates in point 4 of the procedure (and if he manages to beat them all it makes sense that he wins).
 
- removing a candidate from the [[Smith set]] is only possible when that candidate lose all the head-to-head with the candidates contained in the [[Smith set]]. This actually becomes a problem only if the excluded candidate is the one who really should have won.
 
Below is an example in which, through tactical votes, it's possible to bring out a candidate, who should have won, from the [[Smith set]] (making him lose).
 
===Tactical votes===
Line 123 ⟶ 182:
* the new winner is actually a better candidate than the previous one (the new winner in the example could also be C).
* the voter has a fairly precise knowledge of the likely ballots result, without which this tactical vote would turn against him.
