Condorcet//Approval: Difference between revisions

No edit summary
Line 49:
If a voter ranks A>B>C>D>E, and approves only A and B, but C, D, and E are the only candidates in the Smith Set, then this voter would have no influence over who wins in the Smith Set in Smith//Approval. Thus, a modification could be that every voter is assumed to approve their favorite candidate(s) in the Smith Set. Alternatively, if this voter had approved A, B, and C, and all 3 of them were the only candidates in the Smith Set, then again they'd have no influence over which Smith Set candidate wins. So it's also possible to assume every voter disapproves their least favorite(s) In the Smith Set.
 
Smith//Approval can be doneindicated on ranked or rated ballots with an approval threshold based on ranks or scores (i.e. a voter could approve everyone they scored a 5/10 and up or ranked 3rd and up),. makingIt itcould similaralso be done by letting the voter mark approval for each individual candidate (in addition to [[Smith//Score]]being able to rank each one) or having the approval threshold itself be rankable i.e. a voter ranking A>B>threshold>C would on their ballots rank A 1st, B 2nd, C 3rd and the threshold would be another "candidate" that they rank as their 2nd choice, so that their 1st and 2nd choices A and B would be approved.
 
Condorcet-Approval hybrids are a specific case of Condorcet-Score hybrids, such as [[Smith//Score]].
 
One thing that may work in favor of Condorcet-cardinal hybrids as opposed to other Condorcet methods is that the cycle resolution is put more into the voter's hands i.e. it is more intuitive to elect the candidate with the greatest overall support as explicitly indicated by the voters than to run more complex algorithms to determine the winner.
