--> Noncompliance with the monotonicity criterion doesn't tell anything about the likelihood of monotonicity violations, failing in one of a million possible elections would be as well a violation as missing the criterion in any possible election.

Of the single-winner ranked voting systems, [[Borda count|Borda]], [[Schulze method|Schulze]], [[ranked pairs]], maximize affirmed majorities, [[Descending Solid Coalitions]], and [[Descending Acquiescing Coalitions]]<ref name="Woodall-Monotonicity" /> are monotone, while [[Coombs' method]], [[runoff voting]], and [[instant-runoff voting]] (IRV) are not.

Most variants of the [[single transferable vote]] (STV) [[proportional representation]]s are not monotonic, especially all that are currently in use for public elections (which simplify to IRV when there is only one winner).
