Line 18:
Any voting method or election which passes the Test of Balance passes the Equal Vote Criterion and can be said to guarantee an Equally Weighted Vote. The test of balance is defined as the following "Any way I vote, you should be able to vote in an equal and opposite fashion. Our votes should be able to cancel each other’s out." In other words, if an election was tied and one person cast a vote, there must always be a way to cast an opposite vote which would bring the election back to tied.
[[User:BTernaryTau|BTernaryTau]] has developed two possible formalizations of this criterion, the [https://bternarytau.github.io/miscellaneous/voting-theory/cancellation-criterion cancellation criterion] and the [https://bternarytau.github.io/miscellaneous/voting-theory/opposite-cancellation-criterion opposite cancellation criterion].
