Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in voting systems and voting system reform is growing in the United States. Voting systems—the procedures by which we cast votes and elect our public officials—are a crucial part of the democratic election process. The decision to use one kind of voting system rather than another has far-reaching political consequences. Among other things, voting systems help to determine which officials are elected to run our governments, the variety of parties that voters have to choose from at the polls, whether political minorities can win any representation, and whether the majority will rule. Amy gives readers all the information and analytical tools needed to make intelligent choices among voting systems. He provides a set of political criteria that can be used to judge voting systems and gives detailed descriptions of all the common voting systems used in the United States and other Western democracies, including winner-take-all systems as well as proportional representation systems. He also provides an analysis of the various political advantages and disadvantages associated with each type of system. This is an important guide for citizens, government officials, political activists, students, and anyone who wants to learn more about voting systems and their political implications.

This book was released on 2006-04-02 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many election officials look to electronic voting systems as a means for improving their ability to more effectively conduct and administer elections. At the same time, many information technologists and activists have raised important concerns regarding the security of such systems. Policy makers are caught in the midst of a controversy with both political and technological overtones. The public debate about electronic voting is characterized by a great deal of emotion and rhetoric. Asking the Right Questions About Electronic Voting describes the important questions and issues that election officials, policy makers, and informed citizens should ask about the use of computers and information technology in the electoral processâ€"focusing the debate on technical and policy issues that need resolving. The report finds that while electronic voting systems have improved, federal and state governments have not made the commitment necessary for e-voting to be widely used in future elections. More funding, research, and public education are required if e-voting is to become viable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Both theoretical and empirical aspects of single- and multi-winner voting procedures are presented in this collection of papers. Starting from a discussion of the underlying principles of democratic representation, the volume includes a description of a great variety of voting procedures. It lists and illustrates their susceptibility to the main voting paradoxes, assesses (under various models of voters' preferences) the probability of paradoxical outcomes, and discusses the relevance of the theoretical results to the choice of voting system.

Download or read book The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems written by Hans-Dieter Klingemann and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-02-05 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizens living in presidential or parliamentary systems face different political choices as do voters casting votes in elections governed by rules of proportional representation or plurality. Political commentators seem to know how such rules influence political behaviour. They firmly believe, for example, that candidates running in plurality systems are better known and held more accountable to their constituencies than candidates competing in elections governed by proportional representation. However, such assertions rest on shaky ground simply because solid empirical knowledge to evaluate the impact of political institutions on individual political behaviour is still lacking. The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems has collected data on political institutions and on individual political behaviour and scrutinized it carefully. In line with common wisdom results of most analyses presented in this volume confirm that political institutions matter for individual political behaviour but, contrary to what is widely believed, they do not matter much.

Book excerpt: Since the 2000 nat. elections, concerns have been raised regarding the election process, incl. voting technol. Beginning in 2001, a series of reports were published examining every aspect of the elections process; these were used by Congress in framing the Help America Vote Act, which provided for replacement of older voting equip. with more modern electronic voting systems (EVS) & established the Election Assist. Comm. (EAC) to lead the nation¿s election reform efforts. Later reports have raised concerns about the security & reliability of these EVS, examined the EAC¿s efforts to address these concerns, & surveyed state & local officials about practices used during the 2004 election, as well as plans for their systems for the 2006 election.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes up-to-date contributions in the broadly defined area of probabilistic analysis of voting rules and decision mechanisms. Featuring papers from all fields of social choice and game theory, it presents probability arguments to allow readers to gain a better understanding of the properties of decision rules and of the functioning of modern democracies. In particular, it focuses on the legacy of William Gehrlein and Dominique Lepelley, two prominent scholars who have made important contributions to this field over the last fifty years. It covers a range of topics, including (but not limited to) computational and technical aspects of probability approaches, evaluation of the likelihood of voting paradoxes, power indices, empirical evaluations of voting rules, models of voters’ behavior, and strategic voting. The book gathers articles written in honor of Gehrlein and Lepelley along with original works written by the two scholars themselves.

This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heavy Traffic Analysis of Polling Systems in Tandem Our results reveal several insights about system behavior. Expressions quantify exactly how the service cycles at a station are forced to synchronize with the service cycles at its upstream neighbor, and how this effect ripples through the tandem network. Since n, 2 for all i by it follows by that Cji is nondecreasing in i for j A, B; that is, cycle lengths, and hence batch sizes, tend to be larger at downstream stations. Moreover, is the same for all i, so that the cycle lengths of each customer type grow in the same proportions as one moves downstream. Also, the virtual workload is very different for i 1 than for station 1: 21-1 is uniformly distributed, but Zj, takes on n, 1 distinct values for i 1.
