'''Hay voting''' is a single-seat nondeterministic [[Cardinal voting systems |cardinal voting system]] designed by Peter de Blanc.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160507165724/http://www.spaceandgames.com/?p=8|title=space and games » Hay Voting|date=2016-05-07|website=web.archive.org|access-date=2020-10-16}}</ref>

Its characteristic feature is that if the voters use optimal strategy, then it's possible to infer their utility functions (how much utility they judge they will get if a candidate wins), up to an affine transformation. However, the method is nondeterministic and does not have very good Bayesian regret,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://rangevoting.org/StratHonMix.html|title=RangeVoting.org - Range voting with mixtures of honest and strategic voters|website=rangevoting.org|access-date=2020-10-16}}</ref> which leaves it somewhat lacking for practical use. In addition, it fails the [[independence of clones criterion]].
