Monotonicity Failures Afflicting Procedures for Electing a Single Candidate

The evaluation of 18 voting procedures focuses on key monotonicity-related criteria within fixed and variable electorates. It examines how these procedures handle voter preferences and includes discussions on monotonicity failures and the no-show paradoxes. The relationship between these paradoxes and the existence of a Condorcet winner is also explored. This book is aimed at scholars and students in social choice, providing detailed examples and explanations of the vulnerabilities in different voting systems.
