Line 9:
* One could more generally consider IRNR[p], based on the Lp norm, for any fixed real p with
<math>1 \le p \le \infty</math>
TeX bug here
1<=p<=infinity.
(To avoid difficulties with dividing by 0, we agree to ignore votes that rank all candidates 0.)
Sum up the normalized ratings for each candidate. If there are two choices, the highest rated is the winner. If there are more than two choices, disqualify the lowest rated choice.
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
The process repeats with a normalization step that ignores disqualified choices. A voter's voting power is thus redistributed among the remaining choices.
If it were not for the "runoff," then
giving all candidates except one a rating of zero.
This is true whenever there are two "frontrunner" candidates judged to be far more likely
to win than the others and p is finite
(then vote for the best among these two),
If p is infinite IRNR just becomes equivalent to [[range voting]]▼
and its truth is unaffected by the runoff by induction
on rounds.
in the range [-1, 1] with an extra rule demanding that the best- or worst-rated
candidate must have a rating with absolute value 1.
The best strategy is then the same as for [[approval voting]] and again this statement's
validity is unaffected by adding the runoff.
