Preferential voting: Difference between revisions

Interesting hybrids of [[Rated method|rated methods]] and ranked methods can be thought of when allowing the voter to establish how strong their preference is between each ranking. Rankings generally assume a voter has a maximally strong preference between every pair of candidates they indicate any preference between, while ratings assume a voter's preference in one [[head-to-head matchup]] directly influences their preference in another i.e. a voter who votes, with the max score of 5 and the min score of 0, A:5 B:0, is assumed to have no preference between B and C. This can be bridged between by allowing the voter to indicate independently how strong their preference is in each head-to-head matchup; see [[Order theory#Strength of preference]].
