Strategy Advisor based on Randomized Voter Order

Strategy Advisor based on Randomized Voter Order or SARVO is a category of Declared strategy voting methods devised by Warren Smith. All SARVO methods are cardinal single-winner methods: the voters report their utility should X win the election, for every candidate X, and choose whether the method should strategize on their behalf or not.

In the election-methods post, Warren defined SARVO for Range voting, but it can be straightforwardly applied to any weighted positional method.

The method calculates the winner as follows:

1. For every possible way to order the ballots, or a sufficiently large random sample of these:
   1. For voter v = 1 ... number of voters:
      1. If voter v has chosen not to let the method strategize, pass the ballot to the underlying method (turning ratings into rankings if required).
      2. Otherwise, determine a good strategic ballot (typically using the Myerson-Weber strategy) given the election result so far. Submit this ballot.
   2. Add each candidate's score in previous election to their total score.
2. Elect the candidate with the greatest total score.
