Iterated Bucklin: Difference between revisions

Iterated Bucklin attempts to mimic the behavior of a rational Bucklin voter under conditions of an [[Repeated balloting|iterated count]] (hence the name), where after every round a chance is given to amend one’s vote once the winner until that point is presented, and with the count only ending once no voter wishes to further amend their vote. Whilst a true iterated count would be impractical under conditions of all but the smallest elections, Iterated Bucklin attempts to formalize a simulation of this process. It is hoped that a count that already produces a reasonable strategy on the voter’s behalf would hopefully lead to voters presenting relatively sincere rankings as in input.
