Line 19:
Reversed vote, made negative: A[0] B[-2] C[-4] D[-6] E[-8] F[-9]
 
''Reversing and making negative means that the voter's 100 points are used to disadvantage the worst from winning (points will be always negative in the counting). This procedure reduces the failure of monotony, for the single-winner case, and increases resistance to min-maxing strategies.''
 
==Ballot==
Line 43:
P = 100 (can also be set to 1).
S = points sum of the candidates remaining in the vote, after an elimination.
V = old points value of candidate X.
newV = new points value of candidate X.

Line 177:
 
* Ex.2: in an image contest, there is a cash prize to be awarded to the 3 best images. The prize will be divided appropriately according to the % of victory and not in a pre-established way before the contest.
 
==Systems Variations==
 
===Distributed Equal-Vote (DEV)===
 
Voter score candidates with range [-5,+5]. Each ballot is normalized by distributing -100 points between negative ratings, and 100 points between positive ratings (distribution of points uses the normalization of [[Distributed Voting]]).
 
The candidate with the lowest sum of points is eliminated, and ballots normalized.
 
By repeating the elimination process, the worst candidate is eliminated each time, and the remaining candidates are the winners.
 
''Equal-Vote because given a vote, there can always be an opposite one that cancels it.''
 
==Systems comparison==
Line 199 ⟶ 211:
===[[IRNR]]===
 
[[IRNR]] (L1 norm) is applied on rating ballots, also on ranges with negative values such as [-5,+5]. Distributedbut Votingthis (notmakes extended),it in the [[Single Member system|Single-Winner]] context, is a subcategory of IRNR, which binds the minimum value of the rating ballotssubject to 0 (doesn't accept ratings with negative values)ambiguity. This constraint is important because it avoids the ambiguity of the IRNR:
 
Range [0,10] with IRNR and Distributed Voting
61: A[10] B[6] C[0]
39: A[0] B[6] C[10]
Eliminated in order C,A.
B wins.
IRNR and Distributed Voting are equivalent in this case.
 
Range [-5,+5] with IRNR
Line 214 ⟶ 225:
A wins.
 
In IRNR only by changingmoving the extremesrange ofin thenegative rangevalue (leaving the interests of the voters and the size of the range unchanged), the winner changes. Distributed Voting instead avoid this ambiguity by imposing 0 as the minimum value in the ratingrange.
 
IRNR is a [[Single Member system|Single-Winner system]] which also, unlike Distributed Voting, doesn't reverse and make negative the vote before the count.
 
 
==Related Systems ==
* [[Instant Runoff Normalized Ratings]] (ratings also negative, and it doesn't reverse and make negative the vote)
* [[Distributed Multi-Voting]] (particular vote conversion)
* [[Instant Runoff Normalized Ratings]] (ratings also negative)
* [[Baldwin's method]] (Borda, and variant with different normalization)
