Line 1:
Independence of the least/most preferred (ILMP) is satisfied when:
 
ILP: Byby adding a vote where candidate X has the '''worst''' possible rating (or rank), then that vote doesn't '''increase''' the winning chance of X.
 
and
 
IMP: Byby adding a vote where candidate X has the '''best''' possible rating (or rank), then that vote doesn't '''decrease''' the winning chance of X.
 
This criterion must apply regardless of how the other candidates are rated.
 
Meeting these criterion favors the use of intermediate ratings (if present in the voting system), reducing tacticsstrategies such as [[Tactical_voting#Definitions|min-maxing]]. Specifically, IMP avoids rating minimization, while ILP avoids rating maximization, and it's better.
