Use of Nanson's method

[edit]

The website of the University of Adelaide says that its council is elected by proportional representation by the single transferable vote [1]. Markus Schulze 13:57, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

According to [2] the University of Melbourne abolished Nanson's method in 1983 and the Anglican diocese of Melbourne also abandoned it. Iota 22:52, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Preference with the smallest majority"

[edit]

If a Condorcet winner exists, they will be elected. If not, (there is a Condorcet cycle) then the preference with the smallest majority will be eliminated.

What's meant by "preference with the smallest majority?" This sounds a lot like a description of ranked pairs, except RP only drops preferences with the smallest majority that create a cycle. But I doubt that's what's meant by "dropping the smallest majority." Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 22:36, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
