Ranked voting: Difference between revisions
Some more adaptation. The Wikipedia article summary is too long for a summary, but it's a fine length for an Electowiki article
(A little more adaptation work. Looks like we have some fixup to do back over on Wikipedia....) |

'''Ranked voting''' is any election [[voting system]] in which voters use a ranked (or preferential) ballot to [[ranking|rank]] choices in a sequence on the [[Level of measurement#Ordinal scale|ordinal scale]]: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. There are multiple ways in which the rankings can be counted to determine which candidate (or candidates) is (or are) elected (and different methods may choose different winners from the same set of ballots). The other major branch of voting systems is [[cardinal voting]], where candidates are independently rated, rather than ranked.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Liberalism against populism: a confrontation between the theory of democracy and the theory of social choice|last=Riker|first=William Harrison|date=1982|publisher=Waveland Pr|isbn=0881333670|location=|pages=29–30|oclc=316034736|quote=''Ordinal utility'' is a measure of preferences in terms of rank orders—that is, first, second, etc. ... ''Cardinal utility'' is a measure of preferences on a scale of cardinal numbers, such as the scale from zero to one or the scale from one to ten.}}</ref>

Recently, an increasing number of authors, including [[David Farrell (political scientist)|David Farrell]], [[Ian McAllister (political scientist)|Ian McAllister]] and [[Jurij Toplak]], see preferentiality as one of the characteristics by which electoral systems can be evaluated.<ref name=":02">{{Cite journal|last=Toplak|first=Jurij|date=2017|title=Preferential Voting: Definition and Classification|journal=Lex Localis – Journal of Local Self-Government|volume=15|issue=4|pages=737–761|doi=10.4335/15.4.737-761(2017)}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Farrell|first1=David M.|first2=Ian|last2=McAllister|date=2004-02-20|title=Voter Satisfaction and Electoral Systems: Does Preferential Voting in Candidate-Centered Systems Make A Difference|url=http://repositories.cdlib.org/csd/04-04|language=en}}</ref> According to this view, all electoral methods are preferential, but to different degrees and may even be classified according to their preferentiality.<ref name=":02" /> By this logic, [[cardinal voting]] methods such as [[Score voting]] or [[STAR voting]] are also "preferential".
