The selection of a winner may depend as much on the choice of algorithm as the will of the voters. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ Here is an overview video that provides the definition of IRV, as well as an example of how to determine the winner of an election using IRV. Round 2: We make our second elimination. D has now gained a majority, and is declared the winner under IRV. The Single Transferable Vote (STV) is the formal name for a similar procedure with an extra step. "We've had a plurality in general elections for quite some time. Another particularly interesting outcome is our ability to estimate how likely a Plurality election winner would have been concordant with the IRV winner when the Plurality winningpercentage is the only available information. The Plurality winner in each election is straightforward. There is still no choice with a majority, so we eliminate again. This paper presents only the initial steps on a longer inquiry. For the Shannon entropy, this point is at approximately 0.6931, meaning that elections with Shannon entropy lower than 0.6931 are guaranteed to be concordant. These situations are extremely uncommon in a two-party system, where the third-party candidate generally garners little support. \hline \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} \\ \hline Round 1: We make our first elimination. The first is the ballot value and incorporates information across all ballot types. For the HHI, this point is located at 0.5, meaning that the Plurality and IRV algorithms with HHI above 0.5 are guaranteed to be concordant. The bins are ordered from least concentrated to most concentrated (i.e., the HHI bins start with bin 1 at the boundary case of HHI(x) = 1/6, and end with bin 100 at the boundary case of HHI(x) = 1,whereas the entropy bins start with bin 1 at the boundary case of H(x) = ln(6), and end with bin 100 at the boundary case of H(x) = 0). The 20 voters who did not list a second choice do not get transferred - they simply get eliminated, \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} Available: www.doi.org/10.1007/BF01024300. \end{array}\). \hline Round 3: We make our third elimination. In the most notable cases, such as elections for president or governor, there can only be a single winner. We earlier showed that there is a certain threshold for both the HHI and the entropy after which the algorithms will be concordant. We use a Monte Carlo simulation to hold one million mock elections using both algorithms and then assess whether winner concordance occurred. The ballots and the counting of the ballots will be more expensive - It either requires a computer system, or is labor intensive to count by hand, with risk of errors. 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. For a 3 candidate election where every voter ranks the candidates from most to least preferred, there are six unique ballots (Table 1). 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. Notice that the first and fifth columns have the same preferences now, we can condense those down to one column. The last video shows the example from above where the monotonicity criterion is violated. Rep. Brady Brammer, R-Pleasant Grove, said he didn't see much urgency in addressing plurality in elections. It also refers to the party or group with the . When learning new vocabulary and processes it often takes more than a careful reading of the text to gain understanding. 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. 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. The concordance of election results based on the candidate Shannon entropy is shown in figure 3. -Voter Participation -Do We Really Need the Moon? A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. 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 candidate Shannon entropy ranges from 0 to ln(3). Concordance rose from a 75% likelihood in bins where ballots had the highest levels of Shannon entropy to a 100% likelihood of concordance in the boundary case. \hline Round 3: We make our third elimination. 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. But security and integrity of our elections will require having a paper trail so that we can do recounts, and know the results arevalid. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} (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.

\end{array}\). The instant runoff ballot in this instance will list all the candidates, but it will ask voters to rank the number of candidates needed for the number of open offices. In order to determine how often certain amounts of entropy and HHI levels relate to concordance, we need many elections with identical levels of entropy and HHI. 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-offelections, typically). \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} 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.

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. Rhoades, S. A. \hline & 3 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 2 & 1 \\ Now suppose that the results were announced, but election officials accidentally destroyed the ballots before they could be certified, and the votes had to be recast.

This criterion is violated by this election. Single transferable vote is the method of Instant runoff election used for multi-winner races such as the at-large city council seats. It is used in many elections, including the city elections in Berkeley, California and Cambridge, Massachusetts, the state elections in Maine, and the presidential caucuses in Nevada. \hline & 5 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 1 \\ 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. Yet he too recommends approval voting, and he supports his choice with reference to both the system's mathematical appeal and certain real-world considerations. The dispersion, or alternatively the concentration, of the underlying ballot structure can be expressed quantitatively. No one yet has a majority, so we proceed to elimination rounds.

In another study, Kilgour et al., (2019) used numerical simulation to determine whether the phenomenon of ballot truncation had an impact on the probability that the winner of an election is also a Condorcet winner, which denotes a candidate that would win all head-to-head elections of competing candidates. In addition to each simulated election having both a Plurality and IRV winner, it also has a distinct voter preference concentration, which we describe in terms of Shannon entropy and HHI.

Promotes majority support - The voting continues until one candidate has the majority of votes, so the final winner has support of themajority of voters. We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. 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. However, in terms of voting and elections, majority is defined as "a number of voters or votes, jurors, or others in agreement, constituting more than half of the total number.".

Under plurality with a runoff (PwR), if the plurality winner receives a majority of the votes then the election concludes in one round. Runo Voting Because of the problems with plurality method, a runo election is often used. After transferring votes, we find that Carter will win this election with 51 votes to Adams 49 votes!

In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. Our analysis suggests that concordance between Plurality and IRV algorithms increases alongside the ballot concentration, with the probability of concordance depending on whether Shannon entropy or HHI is used to measure that concentration. 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. (The general election, to be held in November, will use a standard ballot.) It will require education about how it works - We dont want spoilt ballots! In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. In this re-vote, Brown will be eliminated in the first round, having the fewest first-place votes.
