Voting system criterion: Difference between revisions

=== Rated ballot adaptations ===

Several criteria have rated-ballot or other adaptations that may make more sense in certain contexts. For example, the [[majority criterion]] says that a candidate preferred by a majority over all other candidates must win. The [[Majority criterion for rated ballots]] further requires the majority to give this candidate the highest score. It can be argued that a voter who gives their favorite candidate less than full support (i.e. didn't do [[normalization]]) doesn't deserve full power, so this modification to the criterion ensures that only a strategic or strongly supportive majority gets their way. Similar adaptations can be made to any criterion involving voter preferences determining who should win, such as [[PSC]], the [[plurality criterion]], [[Mutual majority]], etc.
