By doing so, it simplifies the mechanics of the election at the expense of producing an outcome that may not fully incorporate voter desires. Of these alternative algorithms, we choose to focus on the Instant-Runoff Voting algorithm (IRV). A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. For example, consider the results of a mock election as shown in Table 3. If this was a plurality election, note . Round 1: We make our first elimination. In this study, we develop a theoretical approach to determining the circumstances in which the Plurality and IRV algorithms might produce concordant results, and the likelihood that such a result could occur as a function of ballot dispersion. Lets return to our City Council Election. \hline But another form of election, plurality voting,. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{A} \\ If not, then the plurality winner and the plurality second best go for a runoff whose winner is the candidate who receives a majority support against the other according to the preference profile under There are many questions that arise from these results. The remaining candidates will not be ranked. It is called ranked choice voting (or "instant runoff voting")but it is really a scheme to disconnect elections from issues and allow candidates with marginal support from voters to win . 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. \end{array}\), \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} Still no majority, so we eliminate again. Available: www.doi.org/10.1089/1533129041492150. This information may influence electoral policy decisions in the future as more states and municipalities consider different voting algorithms and their impacts on election outcome, candidate behavior, and voter enfranchisement. In a Runo Election, a plurality vote is taken rst. The following video provides anotherview of the example from above. In other contexts, concentration has been expressed using the HerfindahlHirschman Index (HHI) (Rhoades, 1995). This is a problem. Provides more choice for voters - Voters can vote for the candidate they truly feel is best,without concern about the spoiler effect. Choice E has the fewest first-place votes, so we remove that choice, shifting everyones options to fill the gaps. It refers to Ranked Choice Voting when there is only one candidate being elected. The maximum level of concentration that can be achieved without a guarantee of concordance is when two of the six possible ballots and/or candidates have exactly half of the vote. In the following video, we provide the example from above where we find that the IRV method violates the Condorcet Criterion in an election for a city council seat. \hline \end{array}\). Find the winner using IRV. Election officials told lawmakers holding a statewide runoff election would cost the state close to $3 million to administer. The following video provides anotherview of the example from above. Winner =. Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. Then the Shannon entropy, H(x), is given by: And the HerfindahlHirschman Index, HHI(x), is given by: Monte Carlo Simulation of Election Winner Concordance. Please note:at 2:50 in the video it says 9+2+8=18, should 9+2+8=19, so D=19. 1. Further, we can use the results of our simulations to illustrate candidate concordance. Electoral Studies, 42, 157-163. There is still no choice with a majority, so we eliminate again. The candidate information cases illustrate similar outcomes. Notice that the first and fifth columns have the same preferences now, we can condense those down to one column. Therefore, voters cast ballots that voice their opinions on which candidate should win, and an algorithm determines which candidate wins based on those votes. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} \\ In this election, Don has the smallest number of first place votes, so Don is eliminated in the first round. 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. The result was a one-election, plurality, winner-take-all vote for supreme court. In these elections, each ballot contains only a single choice. Since these election methods produce different winners, their concordance is 0. Election by a plurality is the most common method of selecting candidates for public office. Reforms Ranked Choice Voting What is RCV? In order to utilize a finer bin size without having bins that receive no data, the sample size would need to be drastically increased, likely requiring a different methodology for obtaining and storing data and/or more robust modeling. There is still no choice with a majority, so we eliminate again. 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. Plurality Multiple-round runoff Instant runoff, also called preferential voting. \hline In a Plurality voting system, each voter is given a ballot from which they must choose one candidate. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \text { B } & \text { D } & \text { B } & \text { D } & \text { D } \\ Available: www.doi.org/10.1007/s11127-019-00723-2. 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. All of the data simulated agreed with this fact. A Plural Voting system, as opposed to a single winner electoral system, is one in which each voter casts one vote to choose one candidate amongst many, and the winner is decided on the basis of the highest number of votes garnered by a candidate. In contrast, as voters start to consider a wider range of candidates as a viable first-choice, the Plurality and IRV algorithms start to differ in their election outcomes. Instant runoff voting (IRV) does a decent job at mitigating the spoiler effect by getting past plurality's faliure listed .

Each system has its benefits. In cases of low ballot concentration (or high entropy) there is a lower tendency for winner concordance. Remember to use flashcards for vocabulary, writing the answers out by hand before checking to see if you have them right. If you look over the list of pros above you can see why towns that use IRV tend to have better voter turnout than before they started the IRV. Currently, 10 states use runoff elections. \hline 4^{\text {th }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ In one such study, Joyner (2019) used machine learning tools to estimate the hypothetical outcome of the 2004 presidential election had it been conducted using the IRV algorithm. \hline 1^{\text {st choice }} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{E} \\ \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} \\ This doesnt seem right, and introduces our second fairness criterion: If voters change their votes to increase the preference for a candidate, it should not harm that candidates chances of winning. In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. Consider the preference schedule below, in which a companys advertising team is voting on five different advertising slogans, called A, B, C, D, and E here for simplicity. This continues until a choice has a majority (over 50%). \end{array}\). 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). The candidates are identified as A, B, and C. Each voter submits a ballot on which they designate their first, second, and third choice preferences. The candidate need not win an outright majority to be elected. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \text { B } & \text { D } \\ . Available: www.doi.org/10.1002/j.1538-7305.1948.tb00917.x. Round 1: We make our first elimination. Market share inequality, the HHI, and other measures of the firm composition of a market. This paper addresses only the likelihood of winner concordance when comparing the Plurality and IRV algorithms. This study implies that ballot dispersion is a key driver of potential differences in the candidates each voting algorithm elects. \hline & 136 & 133 \\ The calculations are sufficiently straightforward and can be performed in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet as described below. Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), also called Plurality with Elimination, is a modification of the plurality method that attempts to address the issue of insincere voting. Given three candidates, there are a total of 3, or six, possible orderings of these candidates, which represent six unique ballot types as shown in Table 1. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & & & \mathrm{D} \\ Shannon entropy is a common method used to assess the information content of a disordered system (Shannon, 1948). No se encontraron resultados. We hypothesize that if the dispersion of voter preferences and ballots increases, then the concordance between Plurality voting and Instant-Runoff Voting should decrease. Minimizes strategic voting - Instead of feeling compelled to vote for the lesser of two evils, as in plurality voting, voters can honestly vote forwho they believe is the best candidate.\. 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. There is still no choice with a majority, so we eliminate again. One of the challenges with this approach is that since the votes by ballot are generated randomly, they tend to be very evenly distributed (randomness, especially uniform randomness, tends to carry very high Shannon entropy and low HHI), and thus most data tend to fall into the lower bins. Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), also called Plurality with Elimination, is a modification of the plurality method that attempts to address the issue of insincere voting. They simply get eliminated. The Single Transferable Vote (STV) is the formal name for a similar procedure with an extra step. 2. The Plurality winner in each election is straightforward. Concordance rose from a 57% likelihood in bins where ballots had the highest levels of Shannon entropy to a 100% likelihood of concordance in the boundary case. With a traditional runoff system, a first election has multiple candidates, and if no candidate receives a majority of the vote, a second or runoff election is held between the top two candidates of the first election. Notice that the first and fifth columns have the same preferences now, we can condense those down to one column. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{D} \\ Notice that the first and fifth columns have the same preferences now, we can condense those down to one column. = 24. \hline & 9 & 11 \\ In this algorithm, each voter voices a single preference, and the candidate with the most votes wins the election. The potential benefits of adopting an IRV algorithm over a Plurality algorithm must be weighed against the likelihood that the algorithms might produce different results. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \\ This voting method is used in several political elections around the world, including election of members of the Australian House of Representatives, and was used for county positions in Pierce County, Washington until it was eliminated by voters in 2009. \hline The dispersion, or alternatively the concentration, of the underlying ballot structure can be expressed quantitatively. A ranked-choice voting system (RCV) is an electoral system in which voters rank candidates by preference on their ballots. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \end{array}\). Pros and Cons of Instant Runoff (Ranked Choice) Voting, The LWVVT has a position in support of Instant Runoff Voting, but we here present a review of, - The voting continues until one candidate has the majority of votes, so the final winner has support of the, - Candidates who use negative campaigning may lose the second choice vote of those whose first choice. Even though the only vote changes made favored Adams, the change ended up costing Adams the election. \hline 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 \end{array}\), G has the fewest first-choice votes, so is eliminated first. Fortunately, the bins that received no data were exclusively after the point where the algorithms are guaranteed to be concordant. For a 3 candidate election where every voter ranks the candidates from most to least preferred, there are six unique ballots (Table 1). Round 2: We make our second elimination. This voting method is used in several political elections around the world, including election of members of the Australian House of Representatives, and was used for county positions in Pierce County, Washington until it was eliminated by voters in 2009. Going into the election, city council elections used a plurality voting system . We find that when there is not a single winner with an absolute majority in the first round of voting, a decrease in Shannon entropy and/or an increase in HHI (represented by an increase in the bin numbers) results in a decrease in algorithmic concordance. The approach is broadly extensible to comparisons between other electoral algorithms. Expert Answer. Instant runoff voting: What Mexico (and others) could learn. Plurality elections are unlike the majority voting process. Jason Sorens admits that Instant Runoff Voting has some advantages over our current plurality system. Majority is a noun that in general means "the greater part or number; the number larger than half the total.". This doesnt seem right, and introduces our second fairness criterion: If voters change their votes to increase the preference for a candidate, it should not harm that candidates chances of winning. Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), also called Plurality with Elimination, is a modification of the plurality method that attempts to address the issue of insincere voting. If any candidate has a majority (more than 50%) of the first preference votes, that candidate is declared the winner of the election. \hline Plurality vs. Instant-Runoff Voting Algorithms. On the other hand, the temptation has been removed for Dons supporters to vote for Key; they now know their vote will be transferred to Key, not simply discarded. Choice A has the fewest first-place votes, so we remove that choice. Simply put, as voter preferences become more evenly distributed (i.e., there are few differences between the number of voters expressing interest in any particular ballot), it becomes more likely that the election systems will disagree. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} 3. \hline 4^{\text {th }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ No one yet has a majority, so we proceed to elimination rounds. \hline & 9 & 11 \\ The Plurality algorithm is far from the only electoral system.

We use a Monte Carlo simulation to hold one million mock elections using both algorithms and then assess whether winner concordance occurred. \hline & 3 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 2 & 1 \\ 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. In an instant runoff election, voters can rank as many candidates as they wish. The existence of so many different single-winner algorithms highlight the fundamental challenge with electoral systems. \hline 4^{\text {th }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ The most typical scenarios of the spoiler effect involve plurality voting, our choose-one method. Instant Runoff Voting (IRV), also called Plurality with Elimination, is a modification of the plurality method that attempts to address the issue of insincere voting. Single transferable vote is the method of Instant runoff election used for multi-winner races such as the at-large city council seats. Frequency of monotonicity failure under Instant Runoff Voting: estimates based on a spatial model of elections. Still no majority, so we eliminate again. We see that there is a 50% likelihood of concordance when the winner has about one-third of the total vote, and the likelihood increases until eventually reaching 100% after the plurality winner obtains 50% of the vote. \end{array}\). Now B has 9 first-choice votes, C has 4 votes, and D has 7 votes. Round 2: K: 34+15=49. 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. Denition 1 is consistent with typical usage of the term for plurality elections: For a single-winner plurality contest, the margin of victory is the difference of the vote totals of two Discourages negative campaigning - Candidates who use negative campaigning may lose the second choice vote of those whose first choicewas treated poorly. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \text { B } & \text { D } \\ Plurality voting is an electoral process whereby a candidate who gets the most votes in the election wins.
