Line 1:
The '''Independence of Correlated Candidates criterion''' was devised in 2005 by Thomas Smith. It was inspired by the inadequate definition of the [[Strategic nomination|independence of clones]] criterion which does not properly address rated voting systems and presumes that correlated candidates are identical or very similar to each other.
Correlated candidates are a group of candidates that are supportively ranked or rated in adjacent or equal positions, on every cast ballot. This definition excludes candidates who are differentiated by disapproval or 0 rating from being correlated with those given supportive ranking or rating.
