Pairwise Preferences

For every pair of candidates, this table shows what fraction of voters preferred one to the other. A preference means that either a voter ranks a candidate ahead of the other, or ranks a candidate but does not list the other. Ballots which list neither candidate are not counted towards the percent counts.

Honest Approval Set

Another voting system is Approval Voting, which involves indicating one or more candidates you approve of without ranking them. The candidate with the most voters who approve of them wins. It is impossible to know how voters would vote on an approval ballot based on their ranked ballot, but two reasonable assumptions we can narrow down the set of possibe approval ballots. With these possible approval ballots, we can determine which candidates would have had a chance of winning under an approval voting system.

The assumptions we make are:

  • Every voter who ranked at least one candidate would have voted for at least one candidate in an approval vote.
  • Every voter’s approval votes would be consistent with their ranked ballot, that is, they would not vote for a candidate unless they also voted for every candidate who appeared above that candidate on their ranked ballot.

The table below shows the maximum vote margin each candidate could have received (over the next best candidate) in an approval system, subject to these assumptions.
