Voting: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 19:51, 3 March 2004

Voting refers to any system of making multiple choice collectively - it is typically used in elections to form a government which must make binding decisions that affect everyone, or elect a board (or sometimes even the management) of an enterprise, or choose various measures that affect company operations. See w:voting systems for some more depth on this.

See edits, votes and bets for the debate about how to decide the final Consumerium buying signal.

Some basic paradigms have been suggested to measure the support of campaigns:

Direct Vote requires many votes and rewards heavy participation, and,
Indirect Vote requires fewer votes and rewards faction organization
and the oddly-named WikiVote which seems to overlap with both of them

This is one of many open questions that need to be resolved.
