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:

    I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.
    Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
