Ranked Robin: Difference between revisions

After finding the set of finalists (roughly the Copeland set), the next step is NOT Borda. The finalist with the greatest sum of margins over other finalists is elected. This is mathematically equivalent to Tournament-style Borda, but not Borda, which has debated rules surrounding explicit ranks, ballot completion requirements, and skipped ranks that don't apply to Ranked Robin. From what I can tell, this is actually a novel application of the metric.

Line 1:
Ranked Robin is a [[Condorcet method|Condorcet voting method]] focused on the presentation of the results such that everyday voters can understand them without extensive education. Ranked Robin uses a [https://electowiki.org/wiki/Ballot#Ranked_ballot ranked ballot]. Voters are free to rank multiple candidates equally on their ballots. The candidate who wins the most head-to-head matchups against other candidates is elected, much like a [[w:round-robin tournament|round-robin tournament]]. In [[Election-methods mailing list#Notation|the notation typically used on the EM-list]], Ranked Robin is roughly "[[Copeland]]//[[Borda]]" with the addition of tiebreakers.
