Stable Voting
2021
In this paper, we propose a new single-winner voting system using ranked
ballots: Stable Voting. The motivating principle of Stable Voting is that if a
candidate A would win without another candidate B in the election, and A beats
B in a head-to-head majority comparison, then A should still win in the
election with B included (unless there is another candidate A' who has the same
kind of claim to winning, in which case a tiebreaker may choose between A and
A'). We call this principle Stability for Winners (with Tiebreaking). Stable
Voting satisfies this principle while also having a remarkable ability to avoid
tied outcomes in elections even with small numbers of voters.
