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. Currently, 10 states use runoff elections. Jason Sorens admits that Instant Runoff Voting has some advantages over our current plurality system. We dont want uninformedpeople coming to exercise their right and responsibility to have a bad experience, or toleave without voting properly. HGP Grade 11 module 1 - Lecture notes 1-10; 437400192 social science vs applied social science; . \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{M} & \mathrm{B} \\ There are many questions that arise from these results. Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. The concordance of election results based on the candidate HHI is shown in Figure 4. 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). Now B has 9 first-choice votes, C has 4 votes, and D has 7 votes. RCV is straightforward: Voters have the option to rank candidates in order of preference: first, second, third and so forth. In this election, Don has the smallest number of first place votes, so Don is eliminated in the first round. \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. \end{array}\), G has the fewest first-choice votes, so is eliminated first. \hline 4^{\text {th }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ Plurality voting is an electoral process whereby a candidate who gets the most votes in the election wins. The most typical scenarios of the spoiler effect involve plurality voting, our choose-one method. \hline In 2010, North Carolina became the national leader in instant-runoff voting (IRV). Ranked-choice voting is not a new idea. 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. (Figures 1 - 4). Even though the only vote changes made favored Adams, the change ended up costing Adams the election. Frequency of monotonicity failure under Instant Runoff Voting: estimates based on a spatial model of elections. 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. Instead of voting only for a single candidate, voters in IRV elections can rank the candidates in order of preference. - A certain percentage of people dont like change. 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 IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. A majority would be 11 votes. The first is the ballot value and incorporates information across all ballot types. By Ethan Hollander, Wabash College There are basically three voting systems that are used to elect representatives to public office. People are less turned off by the campaign process andhappier with the election results. 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 \hline This continues until a choice has a majority (over 50%). This is similar to the idea of holding runoff elections, but since every voters order of preference is recorded on the ballot, the runoff can be computed without requiring a second costly election. It is distinguished from the majority system, in which, to win, a candidate must receive more votes than all other candidates combined. Fortunately, the bins that received no data were exclusively after the point where the algorithms are guaranteed to be concordant. This is a problem. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} \\ Candidate A wins under Plurality. \end{array}\), \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} We dont want uninformed, - It either requires a computer system, or is labor intensive to count by hand, with risk of errors. In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. As shown in Figure 5, the likelihood of winner concordance approaches one hundred% when one candidate achieves close to a majority of first-choice preferences. 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. \hline & 9 & 11 \\ This paper addresses only the likelihood of winner concordance when comparing the Plurality and IRV algorithms. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} = 24. Review of Industrial Organization, 10, 657-674. 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. At this time, based on statewide votes, legal decisions and the provisions of the Maine Constitution, the State of Maine is using ranked-choice voting for all of Maine's state-level primary elections, and in general elections ONLY for federal offices, including the office of U . \hline & 5 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 1 \\ \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{D} \\ The existence of so many different single-winner algorithms highlight the fundamental challenge with electoral systems. In the most notable cases, such as elections for president or governor, there can only be a single winner. Majority is a noun that in general means "the greater part or number; the number larger than half the total.". 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. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} However, the likelihood of concordance drops rapidly when no candidate dominates, and approaches 50% when the candidate with the most first-choice ballots only modestly surpasses the next most preferred candidate.

M. and Kogan, V. (2015). 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. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ Although used in most American elections, plurality voting does not meet these basic requirements for a fair election system. The IRV algorithm, on the other hand, attempts to address these concerns by incorporating more information on voter preferences and cross-correlations in support among candidates. In the example of seven candidates for four positions, the ballot will ask the voter to rank their 1 st, 2 nd, 3 rd, and 4 th choice. This criterion is violated by this election. The first electoral system is plurality voting, also known as first-past-the-post; the second is the runoff system, sometimes called a two-round system; and the third is the ranked choice or the instant runoff.

A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. Page 3 of 12 Instant Runoff Voting. Of these alternative algorithms, we choose to focus on the Instant-Runoff Voting algorithm (IRV). Still no majority, so we eliminate again. 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. People are less turned off by the campaign process and, Green Mountain Citizen 2017 Winter Newsletter. \hline & 5 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 1 \\ So it may be complicated todetermine who will be allowed on the ballot. In other contexts, concentration has been expressed using the HerfindahlHirschman Index (HHI) (Rhoades, 1995). We then shift everyones choices up to fill the gaps. Transcribed image text: Question 1 Find the winner of this election under the plurality-with-elimination (instant runoff voting) method. I have not seen this discussed yet, but if there are too 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. It is new - A certain percentage of people dont like change. If one of the candidates has more than 50% of the votes, that candidate wins. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ No se encontraron resultados. Figure 5 displays the concordance based on thepercentage of the vote that the Plurality winner possessed. In this re-vote, Brown will be eliminated in the first round, having the fewest first-place votes. In order to account for and remedy this issue, we uniformly divide the range of the possible values of entropy and HHI into 100 equal segments (hereafter referred to as bins), and then calculate the average concordance of all elections with entropy or HHI within those bins. But another form of election, plurality voting,. Wanting to jump on the bandwagon, 10 of the voters who had originally voted in the order Brown, Adams, Carter change their vote to favor the presumed winner, changing those votes to Adams, Brown, Carter. \hline Concordance of election results increased as Shannon entropy decreased across bins 1 - 38 before leveling off at 100% after bin 38. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \text { B } & \text { D } \\ No one yet has a majority, so we proceed to elimination rounds. Rep. Brady Brammer, R-Pleasant Grove, said he didn't see much urgency in addressing plurality in elections. We then shift everyones choices up to fill the gaps. Let x denote a discrete random variable with possible values x1 xn , and P(x) denote the probability mass function of x. By the sixth and final round, the winner beat Santos by about 200 votes and had 51 percent to Santos' 49 percent of the remaining vote. Other single-winner algorithms include Approval, Borda Count, Copeland, Instant-Runoff, Kemeny-Young, Score Voting, Ranked Pairs, and Schulze Sequential Dropping. Notice that the first and fifth columns have the same preferences now, we can condense those down to one column. This is known as the spoiler problem. 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. We then shift everyones choices up to fill the gaps. Writing this paper would not have been possible without help from Middlesex Community College Professors Scott Higinbotham and Aisha Arroyo who provided me with critical guidance in the direction and methodologies of this paper. If the latest poll is right, and the referendum on question 5 passes, the state's current electoral system will be scrapped and replaced with a method called ranked-choice voting (RCV). \hline & 44 & 14 & 20 & 70 & 22 & 80 & 39 \\ Available:www.doi.org/10.1016/j.electstud.2016.02.009. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{A} \\ We hypothesize that if the dispersion of voter preferences and ballots increases, then the concordance between Plurality voting and Instant-Runoff Voting should decrease. \hline \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \text { D } & \text { B } \\ . We conducted a numerical simulation in which we generated one million hypothetical elections, calculated the ballot dispersion in each election, and compared the winner of the election using the Plurality and the IRV algorithms. Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. The second is the candidate value and incorporates only information related to voters first choice. For example, consider the results of a mock election as shown in Table 3. Discourages negative campaigning - Candidates who use negative campaigning may lose the second choice vote of those whose first choicewas treated poorly. 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. The candidate HHI ranges from 1/3 to 1. A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. The 20 voters who did not list a second choice do not get transferred - they simply get eliminated, \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} Then the Shannon entropy, H(x), is given by: And the HerfindahlHirschman Index, HHI(x), is given by: Monte Carlo Simulation of Election Winner Concordance. First, it explicitly ignores all voter preference information beyond the first preference. \hline & 136 & 133 \\ \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & & & \mathrm{D} \\ But security and integrity of our elections will require having a paper trail so that we can do recounts, and know the results are, In the U.S., we have very few requirements for what a person must do to run for office and be on a ballot. 1. Now suppose that the results were announced, but election officials accidentally destroyed the ballots before they could be certified, and the votes had to be recast. - Voters can vote for the candidate they truly feel is best, - Instead of feeling compelled to vote for the lesser of two evils, as in plurality voting, voters can honestly vote for, (to narrow the field before the general election), (to chose a final winner after a general election, if no candidate has a majority, and if the law requires a majority for that office). Concordance of election results increased as Shannon entropy decreased across bins 1-63 before leveling off at 100% after bin 63. The Single Transferable Vote (STV) is the formal name for a similar procedure with an extra step. \hline & 3 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 2 & 1 \\ \end{array}\), \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|} If no candidate has a majority of first preferences, the least popular candidate is eliminated and their votes. The plurality with elimination method requires voters to rank their preferences. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} \\ There is still no choice with a majority, so we eliminate again. 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. Candidate A wins under Plurality. We use a Monte Carlo simulation to hold one million mock elections using both algorithms and then assess whether winner concordance occurred. In this study, we evaluate the outcomes of a 3-candidate election. Concordance of election results increased as HHI decreased across bins 1 - 40 before leveling off at 100% after bin 40. Going into the election, city council elections used a plurality voting system . Kilgour, D. M., Grgoire, J. and Foley, A. M. (2019) The prevalence and consequences of ballot truncation in ranked-choice elections. (1995). This study implies that ballot dispersion is a key driver of potential differences in the candidates each voting algorithm elects. After transferring votes, we find that Carter will win this election with 51 votes to Adams 49 votes! Thus, greater preference dispersion results in lower concordance as hypothesized. You could still fail to get a candidate with a majority. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \\ 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. We find that the probability that the algorithms produce concordant results in a three-candidate election approaches 100 percent as the ballot dispersion decreases. The Plurality algorithm is far from the only electoral system. Provides more choice for voters - Voters can vote for the candidate they truly feel is best,without concern about the spoiler effect. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|} Since these election methods produce different winners, their concordance is 0. \hline 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. Therefore, voters cast ballots that voice their opinions on which candidate should win, and an algorithm determines which candidate wins based on those votes. 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. Despite the common objective, electoral algorithms may produce a different winner given the same underlying set of voters and voter preferences. In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. McCarthy (M) now has a majority, and is declared the winner. In IRV, voting is done with preference ballots, and a preference schedule is generated. All of the data simulated agreed with this fact. So it may be complicated to, 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. 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.

With primaries, the idea is that there is so much publicity that voters in later primaries, and then in the general election, will have learned the candidates weaknesses and be better informed before voting. A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. No one yet has a majority, so we proceed to elimination rounds. This is similar to the idea of holding runoff elections, but since every voters order of preference is recorded on the ballot, the runoff can be computed without requiring a second costly election. 2. This is similar to the idea of holding runoff elections, but since every voters order of preference is recorded on the ballot, the runoff can be computed without requiring a second costly election. Notice that, in this example, the voters who ranked Montroll first had a variety of second choice candidates. Australia requires that voters do rank every candidate, even if they really dont want some of the candidates. Australia requires that voters, dont want some of the candidates. For our analysis, we employ a stochastic Monte Carlo simulation of hypothetical 3 candidate elections. Round 3: We make our third elimination. Under the IRV system, voters still express a first choice, but also rank the other candidates in order of preference in the event that their first-choice candidate is eliminated. Choice A has the fewest first-place votes, so we remove that choice. \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} \hline Second choices are not collected. 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 many aspects, there is absolutely no empirical or objective precedent to inform the proper implementation of RCV. The Plurality algorithm, though extremely common, suffers from several major disadvantages (Richie, 2004). \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{M} \\ Round 2: We make our second elimination. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ Runo Voting Because of the problems with plurality method, a runo election is often used. 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. 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.
