However, under Instant-Runoff Voting, Candidate B is eliminated in the first round, and Candidate C gains 125 more votes than Candidate A. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & & & \mathrm{D} \\ This study seeks to determine the behavior and rate of change in algorithmic concordance with respect to ballot dispersion for the purpose of understanding the fundamental differences between the Plurality and Instant-Runoff Voting algorithms. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} \\ RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. Ornstein and Norman (2013) developed a numerical simulation to assess the frequency of nonmonotonicity in IRV elections, a phenomenon where a candidates support in the ballots and performance can become inversely related. A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. The plurality with elimination method requires voters to rank their preferences. However, if voters have very small differences in their preferences between candidates, we would expect Instant-Runoff Voting to elect the candidate who is preferred on balance. Concordance of election results increased as Shannon entropy decreased across bins 1-63 before leveling off at 100% after bin 63. The Single Transferable Vote (STV) is the formal name for a similar procedure with an extra step. Concordance of election results increased as HHI decreased across bins 1 - 40 before leveling off at 100% after bin 40. Still no majority, so we eliminate again. Available: www.doi.org/10.1002/j.1538-7305.1948.tb00917.x. In the most common Plurality elections, outside observers only have access to partial information about the ballot dispersion. This continues until a choice has a majority (over 50%). Election by a plurality is the most common method of selecting candidates for public office. \hline \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{D} \\ The concordance of election results based on the candidate HHI is shown in Figure 4. Ornstein, J. and Norman, R. (2013). D has now gained a majority, and is declared the winner under IRV. It will require education about how it works - We dont want spoilt ballots! - Voters can vote for the candidate they truly feel is best, - Instead of feeling compelled to vote for the lesser of two evils, as in plurality voting, voters can honestly vote for, (to narrow the field before the general election), (to chose a final winner after a general election, if no candidate has a majority, and if the law requires a majority for that office). If the latest poll is right, and the referendum on question 5 passes, the state's current electoral system will be scrapped and replaced with a method called ranked-choice voting (RCV). The 20 voters who did not list a second choice do not get transferred - they simply get eliminated, \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline Round 2: We make our second elimination. The choice with the least first-place votes is then eliminated from the election, and any votes for that candidate are redistributed to the voters next choice. Burnett, C. M. and Kogan, V. (2015). Concordance rose from a 75% likelihood in bins where ballots had the highest levels of HHI to a 100% likelihood of concordance in the boundary case. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{A} \\ Instant runoff is designed to address several of the problems of our current system of plurality voting, where the winning candidate is simply the one that gets the most votes. There is still no choice with a majority, so we eliminate again. (1995). A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. Consider the preference schedule below, in which a companys advertising team is voting on five different advertising slogans, called A, B, C, D, and E here for simplicity. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} Review of Industrial Organization, 10, 657-674. plurality elections or instant runoff voting grade 10 1170l Campaign civility under preferential and plurality voting. in the video it says 9+2+8=18, should 9+2+8=19, so D=19, Mathematics for the Liberal Arts Corequisite, https://youtu.be/C-X-6Lo_xUQ?list=PL1F887D3B8BF7C297, https://youtu.be/BCRaYCU28Ro?list=PL1F887D3B8BF7C297, https://youtu.be/NH78zNXHKUs?list=PL1F887D3B8BF7C297, Determine the winner of an election using the Instant Runoff method, Evaluate the fairnessof an Instant Runoff election. Find the winner using IRV. The candidate that receives the most votes wins, regardless of whether or not they obtain a majority (i.e., 50% or more of the vote). This paper addresses only the likelihood of winner concordance when comparing the Plurality and IRV algorithms. Popular elections may be conducted using a wide variety of algorithms, each of which aims to produce a winner reflective, in some way, of the general consensus of the voters. Plurality Under the plurality system, the candidate with the most votes wins, even if they do not have a majority, and even if most voters have a strong preference against the candidate. In the following video, we provide the example from above where we find that the IRV method violates the Condorcet Criterion in an election for a city council seat. Expert Answer. Market share inequality, the HHI, and other measures of the firm composition of a market. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \text { D } & \text { B } & \text { D } & \text { B } & \text { B } \\ The remaining candidates will not be ranked. \hline 5^{\text {th }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} \\ The 214 people who voted for Don have their votes transferred to their second choice, Key. \hline 4^{\text {th }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ First, it explicitly ignores all voter preference information beyond the first preference. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{M} \\ RCV usually takes the form of "instant runoff voting" (IRV). If no candidate has a majority of first preferences, the least popular candidate is eliminated and their votes. Also known as instant-runoff voting, RCV allows voters to rank candidates by preference. D has now gained a majority, and is declared the winner under IRV. In this election, Carter would be eliminated in the first round, and Adams would be the winner with 66 votes to 34 for Brown. = 24. With primaries, the idea is that there is so much publicity that voters in later primaries, and then in the general election, will have learned the candidates weaknesses and be better informed before voting. Provides an outcome more reflective of the majority of voters than either primaries (get extreme candidates "playing to their base") or run-off elections (far lower turnout for run-off elections, typically). There is still no choice with a majority, so we eliminate again. With IRV, the result can be, (get extreme candidates playing to their base).

Wanting to jump on the bandwagon, 10 of the voters who had originally voted in the order Brown, Adams, Carter change their vote to favor the presumed winner, changing those votes to Adams, Brown, Carter. plural pluralities 1 : the state of being plural or numerous 2 a : the greater number or part a plurality of the nations want peace b : the number of votes by which one candidate wins over another c Concordance rose from a 56% likelihood in bins where ballots had the highest levels of HHI to a 100% likelihood of concordance in the boundary case. The dispersion, or alternatively the concentration, of the underlying ballot structure can be expressed quantitatively. Since the number of elections that could be simulated was limited to one million hypothetical elections, there are opportunities to increase the sample size. By Ethan Hollander, Wabash College There are basically three voting systems that are used to elect representatives to public office. - We dont want spoilt ballots! RCV in favor of plurality winners or runoff elections. The last video shows the example from above where the monotonicity criterion is violated. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \text { B } & \text { D } & \text { B } & \text { D } & \text { D } \\ Lets return to our City Council Election. C has the fewest votes. W: 37+9=46. As the law now stands, the kinds of instant runoff voting described in the following post are no longer possible in North Carolina. The most typical scenarios of the spoiler effect involve plurality voting, our choose-one method. Provides more choice for voters - Voters can vote for the candidate they truly feel is best,without concern about the spoiler effect. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \text { D } & \text { B } \\ Its also known as winning by a relative majority when the winning candidate receives the highest . \hline No one yet has a majority, so we proceed to elimination rounds. A plurality voting system is an electoral system in which the winner of an election is the candidate that received the highest number of votes. (1.4) Plurality-with-Elimination Method (Instant Runoff Voting) - In municipal and local elections candidates generally need a majority of first place votes to win. However, the likelihood of concordance drops rapidly when no candidate dominates, and approaches 50% when the candidate with the most first-choice ballots only modestly surpasses the next most preferred candidate. If no candidate has has more than 50% of the votes, a second round of plurality voting occurs with In other contexts, concentration has been expressed using the HerfindahlHirschman Index (HHI) (Rhoades, 1995). Note that even though the criterion is violated in this particular election, it does not mean that IRV always violates the criterion; just that IRV has the potential to violate the criterion in certain elections. The result was a one-election, plurality, winner-take-all vote for supreme court. \hline Election Law Journal, 3(3), 501-512. We can immediately notice that in this election, IRV violates the Condorcet Criterion, since we determined earlier that Don was the Condorcet winner. In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. Kilgour, D. M., Grgoire, J. and Foley, A. M. (2019) The prevalence and consequences of ballot truncation in ranked-choice elections. If this was a plurality election, note that B would be the winner with 9 first-choice votes, compared to 6 for D, 4 for C, and 1 for E. There are total of 3+4+4+6+2+1 = 20 votes. https://youtu.be/C-X-6Lo_xUQ?list=PL1F887D3B8BF7C297, https://youtu.be/BCRaYCU28Ro?list=PL1F887D3B8BF7C297, https://youtu.be/NH78zNXHKUs?list=PL1F887D3B8BF7C297, Determine the winner of an election using preference ballots, Evaluate the fairnessof an election using preference ballots, Determine the winner of an election using the Instant Runoff method, Evaluate the fairnessof an Instant Runoff election, Determine the winner of an election using a Borda count, Evaluate the fairness of an election determined using a Borda count, Determine the winner of en election using Copelands method, Evaluate the fairness of an election determined by Copelands method.
