The Borda count has been proposed as a rank aggregation method in information retrieval, in which documents are ranked according to multiple criteria and the resulting rankings are then combined into a composite ranking. In this method, the ranking criteria are treated as voters, and the aggregate ranking is the result of applying the Borda ...
Ranked voting systems, such as Borda count, are usually contrasted with rated voting methods, which allow voters to indicate how strongly they support different candidates (e.g. on a scale from 0 to 10). [2] Ranked vote systems produce more information than X voting systems such as first-past-the-post voting.
The Nanson method is based on the original work of the mathematician Edward J. Nanson in 1882. [1] Nanson's method eliminates those choices from a Borda count tally that are at or below the average Borda count score, then the ballots are retallied as if the remaining candidates were exclusively on the ballot.
Alaska voters had approved ranked choice in 2020, but Republicans led an effort to repeal it, blaming it for the victory of Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat, to the state’s sole House seat in 2022.
k-Borda: each voter gives, to each committee member, his Borda count. Each voter ranks the candidates and the rankings are scored together. The k candidates with the highest total Borda score are elected. Borda-Chamberlin-Courant (BCC): each voter gives, to each committee, the Borda count of his most preferred candidate in the committee.

The classic example of a positional voting electoral system is the Borda count. [1] Typically, for a single-winner election with N candidates, a first preference is worth N points, a second preference N – 1 points, a third preference N – 2 points and so on until the last ( N th) preference that is worth just 1 point.
Some systems, and the Borda count in particular, are vulnerable when the distribution of candidates is displaced relative to the distribution of voters. The attached table shows the accuracy of the Borda count (as a percentage) when an infinite population of voters satisfies a univariate Gaussian distribution and m candidates are drawn from a ...
A measure to implement top-four, all-candidate primaries and ranked-choice voting in the general election has failed in Colorado, Decision Desk HQ projects. Coloradans voted down the proposed ...
