Justified representationJustified representation (JR) is a criterion for evaluating the fairness of electoral systems in multiwinner voting, particularly in multiwinner approval voting. It can be seen as an adaptation of the proportional representation criterion to approval voting. One definition for "proportional representation" is that the candidates are partitioned into disjoint parties, and each voter approves all candidates in a single party. For example, suppose we need to elect a committee of size 10.
Sequential proportional approval votingSequential proportional approval voting (SPAV) or reweighted approval voting (RAV) is an electoral system that extends the concept of approval voting to a multiple winner election. It is a simplified version of proportional approval voting. Proposed by Danish statistician Thorvald N. Thiele in the early 1900s, it was used (with adaptations for party lists) in Sweden for a short period from 1909-1921, and was replaced by a cruder "party-list" style system as it was easier to calculate.
Multiwinner votingMultiwinner voting, also called multiple-winner elections or committee voting or committee elections, is an electoral system in which multiple candidates are elected. The number of elected candidates is usually fixed in advance. For example, it can be the number of seats in a country's parliament, or the required number of members in a committee. There are many scenarios in which multiwinner voting is useful. They can be broadly classified into three classes, based on the main objective in electing the committee: Excellence.
Comparison of electoral systemsComparison of electoral systems is the result of comparative politics for electoral systems. Electoral systems are the rules for conducting elections, a main component of which is the algorithm for determining the winner (or several winners) from the ballots cast. This article discusses methods and results of comparing different electoral systems, both those that elect a unique candidate in a 'single-winner' election and those that elect a group of representatives in a multiwinner election.
Multiwinner approval votingMultiwinner approval voting, also called approval-based committee voting, is a multi-winner electoral system that uses approval ballots. Each voter may select ("approve") any number of candidates, and multiple candidates are elected. The number of elected candidates is usually fixed in advance. For example, it can be the number of seats in a country's parliament, or the required number of members in a committee. Multiwinner approval voting is an adaptation of approval voting to multiwinner elections.
Vote par valeursvignette|Un image qui représente le vote de valeurs qui est un système de vote Le vote par valeurs, vote par notes, vote par notation ou vote de valeur est un système de vote, ou plus exactement une famille de systèmes. Le principe consiste à ce que chaque électeur associe une note à chaque candidat. Ce mode de scrutin est efficace pour favoriser les candidats consensuels, pour s'affranchir du "vote utile" et pour exprimer sa désapprobation autant que son approbation et permet d'empêcher les phénomènes de tyrannie de la majorité.
Vote préférentielLe vote préférentiel est une modalité du scrutin proportionnel plurinominal dans lequel les électeurs peuvent voter pour un ou plusieurs candidats sur une ou plusieurs listes. Le nombre de sièges est réparti proportionnellement entre les listes, puis les sièges obtenus par chaque liste sont distribués entre les candidats en fonction de leur score personnel. En France, la loi électorale du (article 15) permettait aux électeurs de modifier l'ordre d'inscription des candidats sur les listes en inscrivant un numéro d'ordre en face du nom d'un, de plusieurs ou de tous les candidats de la liste selon la formule du vote préférentiel.
Monotonicity criterionThe monotonicity criterion is a voting system criterion used to evaluate both single and multiple winner ranked voting systems. A ranked voting system is monotonic if it is neither possible to prevent the election of a candidate by ranking them higher on some of the ballots, nor possible to elect an otherwise unelected candidate by ranking them lower on some of the ballots (while nothing else is altered on any ballot). That is to say, in single winner elections no winner is harmed by up-ranking and no loser is helped by down-ranking.
