New fairness criteria for truncated ballots in multi-winner ranked-choice elections
The negative participation paradox in three-candidate instant runoff elections
An Examination of Ranked-Choice Voting in the United States, 2004–2022
From the perspective of social choice theory, ranked-choice voting (RCV) is known to have many flaws. RCV can fail to elect a Condorcet winner and is susceptible to monotonicity paradoxes and the spoiler effect, for example. We use a database of 185 American ranked-choice elections for political office from the years 2004 to 2022 to investigate empirically how frequently RCV's deficiencies manifest in practice. Our general finding is that RCV's w…
Monotonicity anomalies in Scottish local government elections
The single transferable vote (STV) voting method is used to elect multiple candidates in ranked-choice elections. One weakness of STV is that it fails multiple fairness criteria related to monotonicity and no-show paradoxes. We analyze 1079 local government STV elections in Scotland to estimate the frequency of such monotonicity anomalies in real-world elections, and compare our results with prior empirical and theoretical research about the rate…
Does the Choice of Preferential Voting Method Matter? An Empirical Study Using Ranked Choice Elections in the United States
In an election which uses preference ballots, there exist many different voting methods for choosing a winner of the election given the voters' preference data. We analyse the extent to which the choice of voting method matters in American ranked-choice elections. To this end, we compiled a database of over 200 American elections which used preference ballots and, for each election, calculated the winner under the methods of plurality, instant ru…
