Later-no-harm Criterion - Noncomplying Methods

Noncomplying Methods

Approval voting, Borda count, Range voting, Schulze method and Bucklin voting do not satisfy later-no-harm. The Condorcet criterion is incompatible with later-no-harm.

When plurality is used to fill two or more seats in a single district (plurality-at-large) it fails later-no-harm.

The later-no-harm criterion is by definition inapplicable to any voting system in which a voter is not allowed to express more than one choice, such as plurality voting and most party list forms of proportional representation.

Famous quotes containing the word methods:

    There are souls that are incurable and lost to the rest of society. Deprive them of one means of folly, they will invent ten thousand others. They will create subtler, wilder methods, methods that are absolutely DESPERATE. Nature herself is fundamentally antisocial, it is only by a usurpation of powers that the organized body of society opposes the natural inclination of humanity.
    Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
