This criteria is one of several sub-cases of the [[Monotonicity criterion]]. A [[voting system]] satisfies the ''Mono-raise criterion'': |
|||
{{Definition|If an alternative X loses, and the ballots are changed only by placing X in lower positions, without changing the relative position of other candidates, then X must still lose.}} |
|||
A looser way of phrasing this is that in a non-monotonic system, voting for a candidate can cause that candidate to lose. Systems which fail the monotonicity criterion suffer a form of [[tactical voting]] where voters might try to elect their candidate by voting against that candidate. |
|||
[[Plurality voting]], [[Majority Choice Approval]], [[Borda count]], [[Schulze method|Schulze]], [[Maximize Affirmed Majorities]], and [[Descending Solid Coalitions]] are monotonic, while [[Coombs' method]] and [[Instant-runoff voting]] are not. [[Approval voting]] is monotonic, using a slightly different definition, because it is not a preferential system: You can never help a candidate by not voting for them. |
