Bell System Technical Journal, 27(3), 379-423. 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. No one yet has a majority, so we proceed to elimination rounds. There is still no choice with a majority, so we eliminate again. The LWVVT has a position in support of Instant Runoff Voting, but we here present a review ofthe arguments for and against it. Arrowheads Grade 9, 1150L 1, According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a material from which arrowheads were made? In this re-vote, Brown will be eliminated in the first round, having the fewest first-place votes. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \text { D } & \text { B } & \text { D } & \text { B } & \text { B } \\ In this study, we evaluate the outcomes of a 3-candidate election. Round 2: We make our second elimination. \hline & 9 & 11 \\ \hline Find the winner using IRV. With IRV, the result can beobtained with one ballot. \hline 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{A} & \mathrm{D} \\ In other contexts, concentration has been expressed using the HerfindahlHirschman Index (HHI) (Rhoades, 1995). 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. Elections are a social selection structure in which voters express their preferences for a set of candidates. Now B has 9 first-choice votes, C has 4 votes, and D has 7 votes. 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. 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. 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 many aspects, there is absolutely no empirical or objective precedent to inform the proper implementation of RCV. . The concordance of election results based on the ballot Shannon entropy is shown in Figure 1. Jason Sorens admits that Instant Runoff Voting has some advantages over our current plurality system. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} \\ Available: www.doi.org/10.1016/j.electstud.2014.11.006. In these elections, each ballot contains only a single choice. 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 concordance of election results based on the candidate HHI is shown in Figure 4. 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. . The Plurality algorithm is far from the only electoral system. The candidate HHI ranges from 1/3 to 1. The plurality with elimination method requires voters to rank their preferences. 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. Round 3: We make our third elimination. 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). 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. A version of IRV is used by the International Olympic Committee to select host nations. 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. 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. Even though the only vote changes made favored Adams, the change ended up costing Adams the election. 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 3^{\text {rd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} \\ \(\begin{array}{|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|l|} 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. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{E} \\ Plurality Multiple-round runoff Instant runoff, also called preferential voting. \hline \hline & 44 & 14 & 20 & 70 & 22 & 80 & 39 \\ \hline In this study, we characterize the likelihood that two common electoral algorithms, the Plurality algorithm and the Instant-Runoff Voting (IRV) algorithm, produce concordant winners as a function of the underlying dispersion of voter preferences. - 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 . Market share inequality, the HHI, and other measures of the firm composition of a market. CONs of IRV/RCV It is new - A certain percentage of people don't like change. In IRV, voters mark their preferences on the ballot by putting a 1 next to their first choice, a 2 next to their second choice, and so on. \hline & 3 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 2 & 1 \\ 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. Compared to traditional runoff elections, IRV saves tax dollars, reduces money in politics and elects winners when turnout is highest. Let x denote a discrete random variable with possible values x1 xn , and P(x) denote the probability mass function of x. Further, we can use the results of our simulations to illustrate candidate concordance. This frees voters from having to guess the behavior of other voters and might encourage candidates with similar natural constituencies to work with rather than against each other. For example, the Shannon entropy and HHI can be calculated using only voters first choice preferences. Choice E has the fewest first-place votes, so we remove that choice, shifting everyones options to fill the gaps. 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. 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. 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. \end{array}\). In an instant runoff election, voters can rank as many candidates as they wish. Richie, R. (2004). People are less turned off by the campaign process andhappier with the election results. The concordance of election results based on the ballot HHI is shown in Figure 2. In this study, we develop a theoretical approach to determining the circumstances in which the Plurality and IRV algorithms might produce concordant results, and the likelihood that such a result could occur as a function of ballot dispersion. \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} \\ Instant runoff is designed to address several of the problems of our current system of plurality voting, where the winning candidate is simply the one that gets the most votes. Simply put, as voter preferences become more evenly distributed (i.e., there are few differences between the number of voters expressing interest in any particular ballot), it becomes more likely that the election systems will disagree. Thus all non-concordant elections are elections where the second-place candidate under Plurality is elected under IRV. \hline The 14 voters who listed B as second choice go to Bunney. 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. Second choices are not collected. If no candidate has has more than 50% of the votes, a second round of plurality voting occurs with a designated number of the top candidates. Round 2: We make our second elimination. The results show that in a 3 candidate election, an increase in the concentration of votes causes an increase in the concordance of the election algorithms. The reasons for this are unclear and warrant further study. Round 3: We make our third elimination. 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. In this election, Don has the smallest number of first place votes, so Don is eliminated in the first round. 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. Find the winner using IRV. C has the fewest votes. -Plurality Elections or Instant Runoff Voting? (Figures 1 - 4). Thus, Bob Kiss won this election using instant runoff voting. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{M} & \mathrm{B} & & \mathrm{G} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{M} & \\ The approach is broadly extensible to comparisons between other electoral algorithms. 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. 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. 1. We then shift everyones choices up to fill the gaps. Round 1: We make our first elimination. \hline 5^{\text {th }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} \\ This criterion is violated by this election. For a 3 candidate election where every voter ranks the candidates from most to least preferred, there are six unique ballots (Table 1). The second is the candidate value and incorporates only information related to voters first choice. . Second, it encourages voters to think strategically about their votes, since voting for a candidate without adequate support might have the unintended effect of helping a less desired candidate win. Single transferable vote is the method of Instant runoff election used for multi-winner races such as the at-large city council seats. \hline 4^{\text {th }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{E} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{C} \\ \hline 1^{\text {st choice }} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{E} \\ Concordance rose from a 57% likelihood in bins where ballots had the highest levels of Shannon entropy to a 100% likelihood of concordance in the boundary case. The remaining candidates will not be ranked. W: 37+9=46. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \text { D } & \text { B } \\ Lets return to our City Council Election. Going into the election, city council elections used a plurality voting system . \hline 1^{\text {st }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{C} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{D} & \mathrm{D} \\ 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. RCV usually takes the form of "instant runoff voting" (IRV). \hline & 5 & 4 & 4 & 6 & 1 \\ If any candidate has a majority (more than 50%) of the first preference votes, that candidate is declared the winner of the election. What is Choice Voting? Rhoades, S. A. It refers to Ranked Choice Voting when there's more than one winner. 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). 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. 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 last video shows the example from above where the monotonicity criterion is violated. \hline 2^{\text {nd }} \text { choice } & \mathrm{M} & \mathrm{B} & & \mathrm{G} & \mathrm{B} & \mathrm{M} & \\ However, employing the IRV algorithm, we eliminate candidate B and redistribute the votes resulting in Candidate C winning under IRV.

M is elimated, and votes are allocated to their different second choices. For example, consider the results of a mock election as shown in Table 3. As the law now stands, the kinds of instant runoff voting described in the following post are no longer possible in North Carolina.

Pros and Cons of Instant Runoff (Ranked Choice) Voting, The LWVVT has a position in support of Instant Runoff Voting, but we here present a review of, - The voting continues until one candidate has the majority of votes, so the final winner has support of the, - Candidates who use negative campaigning may lose the second choice vote of those whose first choice. Pro-tip: Write out each of the examples in this section using paper and pencil, trying each of the steps as you go, until you feel you could explain it to another person. The calculations are sufficiently straightforward and can be performed in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet as described below. This is known as the spoiler problem. It is distinguished from the majority system, in which, to win, a candidate must receive more votes than all other candidates combined. Shannon entropy is a common method used to assess the information content of a disordered system (Shannon, 1948). However, as the preferences further concentrate, it becomes increasingly likely that the election algorithms will agree. Initially, This is a problem. Donovan, T., Tolbert, C., and Gracey, K. (2016). Runo Voting Because of the problems with plurality method, a runo election is often used. It is new - A certain percentage of people dont like change. We calculate two values for each of these statistics. Available:www.doi.org/10.1016/j.electstud.2016.02.009. No one yet has a majority, so we proceed to elimination rounds. Consider again the election from Try it Now 1. The last video shows the example from above where the monotonicity criterion is violated. D has now gained a majority, and is declared the winner under IRV. 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. Voting algorithms do not always elect the same candidate. This is best demonstrated with the example of a close race between three candidates, with one candidate winning under Plurality, but a separate candidate gaining enough votes to win through IRV. Other single-winner algorithms include Approval, Borda Count, Copeland, Instant-Runoff, Kemeny-Young, Score Voting, Ranked Pairs, and Schulze Sequential Dropping. A majority would be 11 votes. We hypothesize that if the dispersion of voter preferences and ballots increases, then the concordance between Plurality voting and Instant-Runoff Voting should decrease. Available: www.doi.org/10.1137/18S016709. Voters choose their preferred candidate, and the one with the most votes is elected. \hline & 136 & 133 \\ The winner is determined by the algorithm outlined in Table 2. 1998-2021 Journal of Young Investigators.

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.

This makes the final vote 475 to 525, electing Candidate C as opposed to Candidate A. We are down to two possibilities with McCarthy at 136 and Bunney at 133. The most immediate question is how the concordance would be affected in a general N-candidate election.
