In this election, Carter would be eliminated in the first round, and Adams would be the winner with 66 votes to 34 for Brown. Campaign civility under preferential and plurality voting. If there are no primaries, we may need to figure out how to vet candidates better, or pass more, If enough voters did not give any votes to, their lower choices, then you could fail to get a candidate who ends up with a majority, after all. However, as the preferences further concentrate, it becomes increasingly likely that the election algorithms will agree. \hline & 3 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 2 & 1 \\ 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 .

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. We then shift everyones choices up to fill the gaps. Saves money compared to running primary elections (to narrow the field before the general election) or run-off elections (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). - stUsually the candidate with the fewest 1 place votes is eliminated and a runoff election is held - Runoff elections are inefficient and cumbersome, this is why we use preference . \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{E} \\ Candidate A wins under Plurality. This is known as the spoiler problem. Instead of voting only for a single candidate, voters in IRV elections can rank the candidates in order of preference. Notice that, in this example, the voters who ranked Montroll first had a variety of second choice candidates. The 214 people who voted for Don have their votes transferred to their second choice, Key.

We can immediately notice that in this election, IRV violates the Condorcet Criterion, since we determined earlier that Don was the Condorcet winner. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} \\ (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. D has now gained a majority, and is declared the winner under IRV. Majority is a noun that in general means "the greater part or number; the number larger than half the total.". If there are no primaries, we may need to figure out how to vet candidates better, or pass morerequirements for candidates to qualify to run. Figure 5 displays the concordance based on thepercentage of the vote that the Plurality winner possessed. 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. By Ethan Hollander, Wabash College There are basically three voting systems that are used to elect representatives to public office. Notice that the first and fifth columns have the same preferences now, we can condense those down to one column. 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. Choice A has the fewest first-place votes, so we remove that choice. These situations are extremely uncommon in a two-party system, where the third-party candidate generally garners little support. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \text { D } & \text { B } & \text { D } & \text { B } & \text { B } \\ Find the winner using IRV. 1. This continues until a choice has a majority (over 50%). Further, we can use the results of our simulations to illustrate candidate concordance. \hline & 3 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 2 & 1 \\ \hline 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 C has the fewest votes. But while it's sometimes referred to as "instant runoff" voting, the primary vote count in New York will be. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} \\ \hline 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. Plurality voting refers to electoral systems in which a candidate, or candidates, who poll more than any other counterpart (that is, receive a plurality), are elected.In systems based on single-member districts, it elects just one member per district and may also be referred to as first-past-the-post (FPTP), single-member plurality (SMP/SMDP), single-choice voting [citation needed] (an . \hline 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. McCarthy is declared the winner. Concordance of election results increased as HHI decreased across bins 1 - 40 before leveling off at 100% after bin 40. 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. 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. These measures are complementary and help differentiate boundary case elections (i.e., cases where all voters support a single candidate or where ballots are uniformly cast for all candidates) from intermediate case elections where there is an even but nonuniform distribution of ballots. In a Runo Election, a plurality vote is taken rst. Choice E has the fewest first-place votes, so we remove that choice, shifting everyones options to fill the gaps. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ 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. In each election for each candidate, we add together the votes for ballots in which the candidate was the first choice. Potential for Concordance between Plurality and Instant-Runoff Election Algorithms as a Function of Ballot Dispersion, The Relationship Between Implicit Preference Between High-Calorie Foods and Dietary Lapse Types in a Behavioral Weight Loss Program. We are down to two possibilities with McCarthy at 136 and Bunney at 133. Let x denote a discrete random variable with possible values x1 xn , and P(x) denote the probability mass function of x. Market share inequality, the HHI, and other measures of the firm composition of a market. Available: www.doi.org/10.1016/j.electstud.2014.11.006. Further enhancements to this research would be to (i) study N-candidate elections (rather than only three candidates), (ii) evaluate different methods to produce hypothetical voter preference concentrations, and (iii) perform a comparative analysis on alternative electoral algorithms. For each mock election, the Shannon entropy is calculated to capture all contained information and the HerfindahlHirschman Index (HHI) is calculated to capture the concentration of voter preference. Now B has 9 first-choice votes, C has 4 votes, and D has 7 votes. After transferring votes, we find that Carter will win this election with 51 votes to Adams 49 votes! \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{A} \\ The candidate Shannon entropy ranges from 0 to ln(3). Alternatively, we can describe voters as designating their first and second choice candidates, since their third choice is the remaining candidate by default.

For example, consider the results of a mock election as shown in Table 3. A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. 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. Plurality is extremely vulnerable to the spoiler effect so that even candidates with little support can act as spoilers. Its also known as winning by a relative majority when the winning candidate receives the highest . 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 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} \\ It is distinguished from the majority system, in which, to win, a candidate must receive more votes than all other candidates combined.

Higher degrees of voter preference concentration, or lower Shannon entropy, tends to increase the potential for winner concordance. \hline & 3 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 2 & 1 \\ Richie, R. (2004). Australia requires that voters do rank every candidate, even if they really dont want some of the candidates. The 20 voters who did not list a second choice do not get transferred. \end{array}\). If one of the candidates has more than 50% of the votes, that candidate wins. Notice that the first and fifth columns have the same preferences now, we can condense those down to one column. Arrowheads Grade 9, 1150L 1, According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a material from which arrowheads were made? In a Plurality voting system, each voter is given a ballot from which they must choose one candidate. In Figures 1 - 5, we present the results of one million simulated elections, illustrating the probability of winner concordance on the basis of ballot concentration and entropy. 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. 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. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{M} & & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{G} & \mathrm{G} & \\ Cambridge has used its own version for municipal elections since 1941, and across the U.S., it will be employed by more than a dozen cities by 2021 . (I have not seen that proposed in the U.S.) This might be interpreted as, your choice, or forcing you to vote against your, I have not seen this discussed yet, but if there are, many choices, without clear front-runners, I am not sure whether the result reflects the voters desires as well as it would if there were only, say, five choices. Plurality voting is an electoral process whereby a candidate who gets the most votes in the election wins. The Plurality algorithm, though extremely common, suffers from several major disadvantages (Richie, 2004). Since the number of elections that could be simulated was limited to one million hypothetical elections, there are opportunities to increase the sample size. 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. RCV in favor of plurality winners or runoff elections. 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 & 5 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 1 \\ \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \text { B } & \text { D } \\ In an instant runoff election, voters can rank as many candidates as they wish. 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. \end{array}\). Other single-winner algorithms include Approval, Borda Count, Copeland, Instant-Runoff, Kemeny-Young, Score Voting, Ranked Pairs, and Schulze Sequential Dropping. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} As the law now stands, the kinds of instant runoff voting described in the following post are no longer possible in North Carolina. If this was a plurality election, note that B would be the winner with 9 first-choice votes, compared to 6 for D, 4 for C, and 1 for E. There are total of 3+4+4+6+2+1 = 20 votes. Choice E has the fewest first-place votes, so we remove that choice, shifting everyones options to fill the gaps. Thus, greater preference dispersion results in lower concordance as hypothesized. Consider the preference schedule below, in which a companys advertising team is voting on five different advertising slogans, called A, B, C, D, and E here for simplicity. It will require education about how it works - We dont want spoilt ballots! This voting method is used in several political elections around the world, including election of members of the Australian House of Representatives, and was used for county positions in Pierce County, Washington until it was eliminated by voters in 2009. Therefore, voters cast ballots that voice their opinions on which candidate should win, and an algorithm determines which candidate wins based on those votes. On the other hand, the temptation has been removed for Dons supporters to vote for Key; they now know their vote will be transferred to Key, not simply discarded. \end{array}\). 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. The winner received just under 23 percent of . Legal. 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. This criterion is violated by this election. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ In this election, Carter would be eliminated in the first round, and Adams would be the winner with 66 votes to 34 for Brown.

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. \hline & 5 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 1 \\ A majority would be 11 votes. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \\ Runo Voting Because of the problems with plurality method, a runo election is often used.

There are many questions that arise from these results. \end{array}\). When learning new processes, writing them out by hand as you read through them will help you simultaneously memorize and gain insight into the process.
