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:

    Generalization, especially risky generalization, is one of the chief methods by which knowledge proceeds... Safe generalizations are usually rather boring. Delete that “usually rather.” Safe generalizations are quite boring.
    Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)
