Predicting Voting Outcomes for Multi-Alternative Elections in Social Networks

X Liu, F Ren, G Su, M Zhang, W Gu, S Kato - IEEE Access, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In multi-alternative elections, messages in support of or against alternatives spread across
online social media. To make decisions, individuals integrate various sources of information …

Manipulation of opinion polls to influence iterative elections

D Baumeister, AK Selker, A Wilczynski - 19th International Conference …, 2020 - hal.science
In classical elections, voters only submit their ballot once, whereas in iterative voting, the
ballots may be changed iteratively. Following the work by Wilczynski [2019], we consider the …

Voting behavior in one-shot and iterative multiple referenda

U Grandi, J Lang, AI Ozkes, S Airiau - Social Choice and Welfare, 2022 - Springer
We consider a set of voters making a collective decision via simultaneous vote on two binary
issues. Voters' preferences are captured by payoffs assigned to combinations of outcomes …

[HTML][HTML] Iterative voting with partial preferences

Z Terzopoulou, P Terzopoulos, U Endriss - Artificial Intelligence, 2024 - Elsevier
Voting platforms can offer participants the option to sequentially modify their preferences,
whenever they have a reason to do so. But such iterative voting may never converge …
