  • Candidate Ranking Strategies Under Closed List Proportional Representation
    The Best at the Top? Candidate Ranking Strategies Under Closed List Proportional Representation Benoit S Y Crutzen Hideo Konishi Erasmus School of Economics Boston College Nicolas Sahuguet HEC Montreal April 21, 2021 Abstract Under closed-list proportional representation, a party’selectoral list determines the order in which legislative seats are allocated to candidates. When candidates differ in their ability, parties face a trade-off between competence and incentives. Ranking candidates in decreasing order of competence ensures that elected politicians are most competent. Yet, party list create incentives for candidates that may push parties not to rank candidates in decreasing competence order. We examine this trade-off in a game- theoretical model in which parties rank their candidate on a list, candidates choose their campaign effort, and the election is a team contest for multiple prizes. We show that the trade-off between competence and incentives depends on candidates’objective and the electoral environment. In particular, parties rank candidates in decreasing order of competence if candidates value enough post-electoral high offi ces or media coverage focuses on candidates at the top of the list. 1 1 Introduction Competent politicians are key for government and democracy to function well. In most democracies, political parties select the candidates who can run for offi ce. Parties’decision on which candidates to let run under their banner is therefore of fundamental importance. When they select candidates, parties have to worry not only about the competence of candidates but also about incentives, about their candidates’motivation to engage with voters and work hard for their party’selectoral success.

  • A Canadian Model of Proportional Representation by Robert S. Ring A
    Proportional-first-past-the-post: A Canadian model of Proportional Representation by Robert S. Ring A thesis submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Political Science Memorial University St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador May 2014 ii Abstract For more than a decade a majority of Canadians have consistently supported the idea of proportional representation when asked, yet all attempts at electoral reform thus far have failed. Even though a majority of Canadians support proportional representation, a majority also report they are satisfied with the current electoral system (even indicating support for both in the same survey). The author seeks to reconcile these potentially conflicting desires by designing a uniquely Canadian electoral system that keeps the positive and familiar features of first-past-the- post while creating a proportional election result. The author touches on the theory of representative democracy and its relationship with proportional representation before delving into the mechanics of electoral systems. He surveys some of the major electoral system proposals and options for Canada before finally presenting his made-in-Canada solution that he believes stands a better chance at gaining approval from Canadians than past proposals. iii Acknowledgements First of foremost, I would like to express my sincerest gratitude to my brilliant supervisor, Dr. Amanda Bittner, whose continuous guidance, support, and advice over the past few years has been invaluable. I am especially grateful to you for encouraging me to pursue my Master’s and write about my electoral system idea.

Supporting or choosing an inappropriate system may not only affect the level of representation a party achieves, but may threaten the very existence of the party. But which factors need to be considered in determining an appropriate electoral system? This publication provides an introduction to the different electoral systems which exist around the world, some brief case studies of recent electoral system reforms, and some practical tips to those political parties involved in development or reform of electoral systems. Each electoral system is based on specific values, and while each has some generic advantages and disadvantages, these may not occur consistently in different social and political environments.

  • EU Electoral Law Memorandum.Pages
    Memorandum on the Electoral Law of the European Union: Confederal and Federal Legitimacy and Turnout European Parliament Committee on Constitutional Affairs Hearing on Electoral Reform Brendan O’Leary, BA (Oxon), PhD (LSE) Lauder Professor of Political Science, University of Pennsylvania Citizen of Ireland and Citizen of the USA1 submitted November 26 2014 hearing December 3 2014 Page !1 of !22 The European Parliament, on one view, is a direct descendant of its confederal precursor, which was indirectly elected from among the member-state parliaments of the ESCC and the EEC. In a very different view the Parliament is the incipient first chamber of the European federal demos, an integral component of a European federation in the making.2 These contrasting confederal and federal understandings imply very different approaches to the law(s) regulating the election of the European Parliament. 1. The Confederal Understanding In the confederal vision of Europe as a union of sovereign member-states, each member- state should pass its own electoral laws, execute its own electoral administration, and regulate the conduct of its representatives in European institutions, who should be accountable to member- state parties and citizens, and indeed function as their “mandatable” delegates. In the strongest confederal vision, in the conduct of EU law-making and policy MEPs should have less powers and status than the ministers of member-states, and their delegated authorities (e.g., ambassadors, or functionally specialized civil servants). In most confederal visions MEPs should be indirectly elected from and accountable to their home parliaments. Applied astringently, the confederal understanding would suggest that the current Parliament has been mis-designed, and operating beyond its appropriate functions at least since 1979.

  • Social Choice for Social Good
    Social Choice for Social Good Paul Gölz In this thesis, we study ways in which computational social choice can contribute to social good, by providing better democratic representation and by allocating scarce goods. On the side of political representation, we study multiple emerging innovations to the democratic process. If legislative elections with proportional representation allow for approval-based ballots rather than the choice of a single party, we give voting rules that satisfy attractive axioms of proportionality. For liquid democracy, a kind of transitive proxy voting, we show how an extension to multiple delegation options can decrease the concentration of power in few hands. Finally, for sortition, a system in which representatives are randomly selected citizens, we develop sampling algorithms, both for the case where all citizens participate if sampled and for the case in which participants self select. Concerning the allocation of scarce goods, we investigate the applications of refugee resettlement and kidney exchange. For refugee resettlement, we show how submodular optimization can lead to more diverse matchings that might increase employment by reducing competition for jobs between similar refugees. In kidney exchange, we give approximately incentive-compatible mechanisms for transplant chains in a semi-random model of compatibilities. Finally, we present three directions for future research, revisiting the topics of sortition, refugee resettlement, and semi-random models. 1 Contents 1 Introduction 3 1.1 Improving Democratic Representation.......................3 1.2 Allocating Scarce Goods...............................5 2 Approval-Based Legislative Apportionment6 2.1 Related Work.....................................8 2.2 Voting Rules with Strong Proportionality Guarantees...............8 3 Liquid Democracy 10 3.1 Related Work....................................

  • The Effect of Electoral Systems on Voter Turnout
    The Effect of Electoral Systems on Voter Turnout: Evidence from a Natural Experiment Carlos Sanz∗ Princeton University May 26, 2015 Accepted for publication in Political Science Research and Methods Abstract I exploit the unique institutional framework of Spanish local elections, where municipalities follow different electoral systems depending on their population size, as mandated by a national law. Using a regression discontinuity design, I compare turnout under closed list proportional representation and under an open list, plurality-at-large system where voters can vote for individual candidates from the same or different party lists. I find that the open list system increases turnout by between one and two percentage points. The results suggest that open list systems, which introduce competition both across and within parties, are conducive to more voter turnout. ∗I thank Marco Battaglini and Thomas Fujiwara for their guidance and support. I also thank Jorge Alvarez,´ Jes´usFern´andez-Villaverde, Federico Huneeus, Matias Iaryczower, John Londregan, Fernanda M´arquez-Padilla, Jos´e Miguel Rodr´ıguez,and seminar participants in Princeton University for their thoughtful comments and suggestions. I am solely responsible for any remaining errors. 1 1 Introduction Voter turnout varies widely across countries. How much of that variation can be explained by differences in the electoral system? What is the causal effect of the electoral system on voter turnout? Do citizens participate more when they are allowed to decide which individual candidates get elected (open list systems), than in elections where they vote for a party-list (closed list systems)? These questions have attracted the attention of economists and political scientists for a long time (see Blais, 2006; Blais and Aarts, 2006; and Geys, 2006 for reviews of the literature).

Given that PR systems can vary widely in practice, this paper examines the institutional characteristics of three systems that are potential replacements for the simple plurality or FPTP system: Party List Proportional, Mixed Member Proportional (MMP), and Single Transferable Vote (STV). There are undeniable strengths in all three systems, but all are found wanting given the political realities in British Columbia. This paper argues that replacing BC’s current FPTP electoral system will require both trade-offs and an understanding of the impact that such changes will have on the way votes are counted. The Party List Proportional system is commonly used in most European democracies. In these systems, candidates run in ridings that have more than one member. There are two types of Party List system. The first is the Closed Party List system in which the electorate votes for their preferred political party.

Herron, Robert J. Pekkanen, and Matthew S. Shugart Subject: Political Science, Public Administration, Comparative Politics Online Publication Date: Jan 2018 DOI: 10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190258658.013.35 Abstract and Keywords Italy stands out among advanced industrialized democracies because of its frequency of major electoral reforms. In the postwar period, Italy has experienced four major electoral systems: the proportional representation (PR) system of the First Republic (1948–1992), mixed-member majoritarian (MMM, 1993–2005), and two varieties of PR with majority bonus (2005–2015, 2015–). In addition, there have been many failed attempts at electoral reform through legislation or referendum. The frequency of electoral reform makes Italy an important case for investigating the causes and effects of electoral system change. However, the path to each change has been somewhat idiosyncratic: the major reform of 1993 came against the backdrop of revelations of massive corruption, while the 2005 reform can be understood as an attempt to engineer divided government by an incumbent coalition expecting losses in the next election. The effects of the electoral reforms have also not always been as expected. Keywords: Italy, electoral systems, electoral reform, governmental stability, party systems, preference votes, majority bonus Page 1 of 29 PRINTED FROM OXFORD HANDBOOKS ONLINE (www.oxfordhandbooks.com).

  • Elections and Electoral Systems Democracies Are Sometimes Classified in Terms of Their Electoral System
    Elections and Electoral Systems Democracies are sometimes classified in terms of their electoral system. An electoral system is a set of laws that regulate electoral competition between candidates or parties or both. Elections are increasingly used to fill legislative and executive offices around the world. 185 of the world's 193 independent states now use direct elections to elect people to their lower house of parliament. Electoral integrity refers to the extent to which the conduct of elections meets international standards and global norms concerning `good' elections. These norms and standards are usually set out in treaties, conventions, and guidelines issued by international and regional organizations. Violations of electoral integrity are referred to as electoral malpractice. MAP 13.1 Electoral Integrity across the World in 2016 Source: Data come from the Perceptions of Electoral Integrity expert survey (PEI 4.5) and are based on national-level elections that have taken place between July 1, 2012, and June 30, 2016 (“Perceptions” 2016). Darker colors indicate higher levels of electoral integrity. 13: Elections and Electoral Systems 527 FIGURE 13.2 Electoral Integrity in Four Countries Source: Data for the star-plots come from the Perceptions of Electoral Integrity expert survey (PEI 4.5; “Perceptions” 2016).
