Independence of Irrelevant Ballots (IIB),
A generalization of this concept is to treat an irrelevant ballot as simply being a ballot with no preference between the candidates in a set of candidates, and the requirement as being that that ballot shouldn't impact who wins or loses among that set of candidates.
In general, [[Largest remainder method|Largest remainder methods]] violate this criterion because an irrelevant voter will change the size of the quota. See the [[Quota rule#Notes]] for an example. There are proportional cardinal methods that pass this criterion with "empty ballots" (where all candidates are given a zero or unapproved) but fail with "full ballots" (where candidates are given the same positive score or approved). For example, [[Phragmen's voting rules]] passes with empty ballots but fails with full ballots. [[Monroe's method]] fails with both full and empty ballots. In general, it is easier for a method to pass this criterion with empty ballots.
