Election Theory

Today we talked about 3 different algorithms dealing with Election Theory. Remember that each of these methods require the use of a preference schedule! The three algortithms discussed were: the Borda method, Runoff method, and Sequential Runoff method. Be sure that you have really clear notes on each of these processes. It is essential that you know how to follow them, but do not worry too much about how they work. You should also know the difference between plurality and majority winners. Tomorrow we will do an activity in class dealing with these different methods.

Have a great week!
