https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2375216 Bug ID: 2375216 Summary: Review-Request: python-pyrankvote - Library for different ranked voting methods Product: Fedora Version: rawhide OS: Linux Status: NEW Component: Package Review Severity: medium Assignee: nobody@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: benson_muite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx QA Contact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: package-review@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora spec: https://fed500.fedorapeople.org/python-pyrankvote.spec srpm: https://fed500.fedorapeople.org/python-pyrankvote-2.0.6-1.fc41.src.rpm description: PyRankVote is a python library for different ranked-choice voting systems (sometimes called preferential voting systems) created by Jon Tingvold in June 2019. The following ranking methods are implemented for electing one person/ alternative (e.g. electing the chairman to a board): Instant-runoff voting (IRV)—often known as the alternative vote The following ranking methods are implemented for electing multiple people/alternatives (e.g. electing board members): - Single transferable vote (STV)—generally preferred - Preferential block voting (PBV) - Different ranking methods - Instant runoff voting (IRV) is a single candidate election method that elects the candidate that can obtain majority support (more than 50%). Voters rank candidates and are granted one vote. The candidate with fewest votes is removed and this candidate's votes are transferred according to the voters 2nd preference (or 3rd etc). Preferential block voting (PBV) is a multiple candidate election method that elects candidates that can obtain majority support (more than 50%). PBV tends to elect uncontroversial candidates that agree with each other. Minority group often lose their representation. Voters rank candidates and are granted as many votes as there are people that should be elected. The candidate with fewest votes are removed and this candidate's votes are transferred according to the voters 2nd preference (or 3rd etc). Single transferable vote (STV) is a multiple candidate election method that elects candidates based on proportional representation. Minority (and extreme) groups get representation if they have enough votes to elect a candidate. STV is therefore the preferred ranked-choice voting method for parliament elections and most multiple seat elections, but it's more complex than PBV, so it explained last. Voters rank candidates and are granted as one vote each. If a candidate gets more votes than the threshold for being elected, the candidate is proclaimed as winner. This function uses the Droop quota, where droop_quota = votes/(seats+1) + 1 If one candidate gets more votes than the threshold the excess votes are transferred to voters that voted for this candidate's 2nd (or 3rd, 4th, etc) alternative. If no candidate gets over the threshold, the candidate with fewest votes is removed. Votes for this candidate is then transferred to voters 2nd (or 3rd, 4th, etc) alternative. Preferential block voting and Single transferable vote are the same as Instant-runoff voting when only one candidate is elected. Instant-runoff voting and Preferential block voting are basically the same as exhaustive ballot, the preferred method in Rober's rules of order. The only difference is that in exhaustive ballot voters can adjust their preferences between each round (elimination or election of one candidate). fas: fed500 Reproducible: Always -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
