Question

A voter who has a weight that is greater than or equal to the quota is called a dictator. In a weighted voting system, the dictator has all the power. A voter who is never a critical voter has no power and is referred to as a dummy. This term is not meant to be a comment on the voter’s intellectual powers; it just indicates that the voter has no ability to influence an election. 

a. dictators : v1,v2 ; dummies : v2,v3

b. dictator : v1; dummies : v2,v3,v4,v5
c. dictator : v1; dummy : v2
d. The system is not valid.
