Welcome to what will soon be the new home for Electowiki! The original is at https://wiki.electorama.com/wiki/Main_Page. The original home will be the best place to search for histories of pages prior to September 2018.
This wiki is closely associated with the Election-methods mailing list, but is more broadly for communities of election-minded people.

Election Methods
There has been an increasing awareness in many parts of the world of the effect that different election methods (voting systems, voting methods, etc; this site uses these words interchangeably) have on the quality and timbre of elections and democracy. There are movements for proportional representation, instant-runoff voting, Condorcet. This site gives you a guide to what these things are.
But it also goes one step further: there is a vast literature on the theory behind these systems: what criteria can you use to judge whether a particular method works well? What strategies will different systems encourage voters to use? We record the collective wisdom of scholars and enthusiasts, and, by working together, hope to create a canonical reference for all to use.
