Majority Choice Approval: Difference between revisions
→How does it work?
Line 7:
If one and only one candidate is given the highest rating by an [[absolute majority]] of voters, that candidate wins. If not, the second-highest rating is added to each candidate's vote total; again, if there is only one candidate with a majority they win. This process continues until some candidate has a majority.
Unfortunately, if voters cluster in certain categories (e.g. if there are only a handful of possible ratings, or if ratings are clustered at multiples of 5 or 10), this procedure is likely to end up with multiple candidates reaching a majority at the same rating. Therefore, a tiebreaking procedure is needed. Some possible resolution methods include:
* MCA-A: Most approved candidate (most votes above lowest possible rating). This is also called "Majority Top//Approval", or MTA.
