Question
2. Consider the following preference schedule for an election:
Number of voters
1st choice
2nd choice
3rd choice
4th choice
(a) How many people voted in this election?
(b) How many votes are needed for majority?
i. vote-for-two
ii. plurality voting
iii. Borda count
4 5
2
C A
A B
D C A с
B
A D D
C D B B
60
(c) Use the following methods to find the winner. If there is a tie, suggest a reasonable
tie-breaking rule and find the winner.
iv. plurality-with-elimination
v. Is there a Condorcet candidate in this election?
vi. In this election, does plurality vote violate Condorcet fairness criterion?
vii. Suppose that the preference schedule above refers to a straw poll. Now we hold an
official election - and everyone votes the same except for the two voters in the last
column: they switch their votes and move C ahead of A in their ballots. Use
plurality-with-elimination to find the winner of the official poll.
viii. the results of (iv) and (vii) imply violation of which fairness criterion.
