Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The negative counting approach is an alternative method of doing pairwise counting. Whereas regular pairwise counting operates from the perspective that a candidate ("Candidate A") ranked by a voter is not preferred over any other candidates except any candidates ranked below Candidate A by that voter, negative pairwise counting operates from the opposite perspective, which is that Candidate A is preferred over every other candidate except any candidates ranked above (and optionally, equally to) Candidate A by that voter. Both approaches give the same final pairwise vote totals for an election (except in elections allowing equal-ranking and/or write-in candidates, depending on how those are counted). An example of how the information garnered by negative pairwise counting is translated into a final pairwise total: if it is known that a) 5 voters ranked a "Candidate B" on their ballots, and b) only 3 of these voters ranked Candidate B below or equal to "Candidate C", then logically, the other 2 voters must have ranked Candidate B above Candidate C. |
