Abstract

We study single-winner STV from the point of view of communication. First, we assume that voters give, in a single shot, their top-k alternatives; we define a version of STV that works for such votes, and we evaluate empirically the extent to which it approximates the standard STV rule. Second, we evaluate empirically the communication cost of the protocol for STV defined by Conitzer and Sandholm (2005) and some of its improvements.

Footnotes
1

For single-winner elections, STV is often called instant runoff voting.

 
2

Jiang et al. [4] define a weaker version of necessary losers for STV in the context of a search algorithm for outputting all parallel universe STV winners.
