It is a very nice algorithm, which does about as well as any
polynomial-time algorithm could using rank ballots. It certainly
overcomes a lot of the practical pathologies in ScottishSTV or more
generally IRV-based STV syst
I would caution readers against taking Barak's assertions at face

assertions, are flat-out wrong; and the analytical approach is

Dimitri,
Of course we're discussing multiwinner systems: systems that elect
k-of-n people to a board, where k>1.
As you note, when k=n the election is uncontested so there is no need
for any voting system.
In the Burlington election discussed, k=1 and n=3. That's about the
simplest situation you

I am very happy to see SPI adopt a voting system designed for
proportional representation.
However I do feel obligated to correct a simple incorrect statement,
namely that STV, a proportional representation system built upon IRV,
is in some sense best-of-breed. STV in fact exhibits a variety of ve

It seems like a few people seem to find the argument for RRV
convincing, and no one has objected. Does anyon

Indeed, getting voting systems right is highly technical and
mathematical, and remains an active area of research. (Observe the

This looks like a case of the following logic.
1. A bad thing happened.
2. It would be better if such a bad thing did not happen again.
3. Something must be done.
4. This (i.e., a code of conduct) is something!
5. Therefore it must be done!!

Ian is correct: using the top K Condorcet winners is a very poor
multiwinner election system, if the goal is to have proportional
representation.
Having studied this a bit, I would suggest that the best currently
