Condorcet voting methods avoid the paradoxes of voting theory
2012 50th Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing (Allerton), 2012Democratically choosing a single preference from more than two candidate options is not a straightforward matter. In fact, voting theory has established a number of paradoxes which assert seemingly innocuous attributes to be incompatible. One of the most desirable attributes — independence of irrelevant alternatives — is proven by Arrow to be ...

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010 Research in the behavioral psychology of voting has found that voters tend to be poorly informed, highly responsive to candidate personality, and follow a "fast and frugal" heuristic.

The most familiar type of democratic decision is the majority rule. It reflects the rather vague principle of ‘the greatest good for the greatest number’ (Bentham, 1780 [1948]) and can be so interpreted if social good is measured by the number of people pleased by the results of an election or a referendum, provided there are exactly two candidates or ...

Voting, in some form or other, must have been one of the activities of primitive man: and one can easily picture the cave-dweller expounding, perhaps with illustrations on the wall of his dwelling, some of the difficulties of theory and practice quite as earnestly as we shall consider the subject to-day, and, I am inclined to think,

Does a voter tend to choose the candidate who most closely shares the views of the voter or rather a candidate who holds more extreme views due to the fact that the voters discount the candidates' abilities to implement policy ...
