Binary Self-Selective Voting Rules

2025-06-18 · Héctor Hermida-Rivera, Toygar T. Kerman

This paper introduces a novel binary stability property for voting rules-called binary self-selectivity-by which a society considering whether to replace its voting rule using itself in pairwise elections will choose not to do so. In Theorem 1, we show that a neutral voting rule is binary self-selective if and only if it is universally self-selective. We then use this equivalence to show, in Corollary 1, that under the unrestricted strict preference domain, a unanimous and neutral voting rule is binary self-selective if and only if it is dictatorial. In Theorem 2 and Corollary 2, we show that whenever there is a strong Condorcet winner; a unanimous, neutral and anonymous voting rule is binary self-selective (or universally self-selective) if and only if it is the Condorcet voting rule.

Minimal Stable Voting Rules

2025-06-18 · Héctor Hermida-Rivera

In this paper, I characterize minimal stable voting rules and minimal self-stable constitutions (i.e., pairs of voting rules) for societies in which only power matters. To do so, I first let players' preference profiles …

What Voting Rules Actually Do: A Data-Driven Analysis of Multi-Winner Voting

2025-08-08 · Joshua Caiata, Ben Armstrong, Kate Larson arxiv

Committee-selection problems arise in many contexts and applications, and there has been increasing interest within the social choice research community on identifying which properties are satisfied by different multi-wi…

Self-Equivalent Voting Rules

2025-06-18 · Héctor Hermida-Rivera

In this paper, I introduce a novel stability axiom for stochastic voting rules, called self-equivalence, by which a society considering whether to replace its voting rule using itself will choose not do so. I then show t…

Sequential unanimity voting rules for binary social choice

2024-02-20 · Stergios Athanasoglou, Somouaoga Bonkoungou

We consider a group of voters that needs to decide between two candidates. We propose a novel family of neutral and strategy-proof rules, which we call sequential unanimity rules. By demonstrating their formal equivalenc…

The Computational Impact of Partial Votes on Strategic Voting

2014-05-28 · Nina Narodytska, Toby Walsh

In many real world elections, agents are not required to rank all candidates. We study three of the most common methods used to modify voting rules to deal with such partial votes. These methods modify scoring rules (lik…
