Distributed Voting: Difference between revisions

Aldo Tragni (talk | contribs) (Added sections: Free Riding (and Surplus Handling), IWA example, Cardinal Voting (comparison). Removed "Related Systems - Cumulative voting" because it's already indicated in the initial description that it's a vote in Cumulative form. Removed "Related Systems - Baldwin's method" because the example concerned Borda and not DV; in this regard, a specific example for DV has been added in the "IWA example" section.) |

By distributing points between 3 or more candidates, the Distributed Voting becomes increasingly different from the [[IRV]], because of normalization in the counting. |

===[[Cardinal|Cardinal Voting]]=== |
|||
Given a [[Cardinal|Cardinal vote]] like A[10] B[4] C[2] (range [0,10]), candidate A is eliminated, because he is considered to be the worst candidate overall. |
|||
*If the vote takes the form B[4] C[2] (leaving the vote unchanged), then a voting system equivalent to the [[Score Voting]] is obtained in which the single winner is from the beginning the candidate with the highest sum. |
|||
*If the vote takes the form B[10] C[5] or B[8] C[4] or B[6] C[4] or B[2] C[1], then a different voting system will be obtained. |
|||
The problem is that all the forms of voting listed respect the relative interests of the voter, but at the same time, they can ultimately return a different single winner. The [[Cardinal voting systems]] solves this ambiguity by making an arbitrary choice, not decided by the voters. |
|||
The problem described is avoided by Distributed Voting, because by removing a candidate, there is only one and unique way to proportionally redistribute the 100 points of the voter, respecting his relative interests. |
