Organize a vote with the majority judgement

at work, with friends, for an election…

Several applications for launching a vote using the majority judgment method are beginning to emerge.

Mieux Voter insists on the importance of these applications distributing their code in open source in order to be able to audit the implementation of the majority judgement method. Mieux Voter proposes here some of the ones we had the opportunity to review.

In addition, thanks to your donations, the association is currently developing its own software under free license. It will be usable free of charge with production and confidentiality requirements (anonymous, certified votes, scaling up, etc.). Mieux Voter aims to make an instance of this platform accessible in self-service for intermediate size votes. To help us move forward faster on this project, support us!

Could the Brexit crisis be fixed by a new method of voting?

This article argues that one reason for the Brexit crisis is the traditional binary voting system which counts votes of different meanings as if they were the same. In the 2016 referendum, for example, “remain” had more or less a clear meaning but different voters understood “leave” in different ways. Similarly in the parliamentary vote of January 15, the 432 MPs who voted against Theresa May’s deal meant different things by their “no” with, it’s estimated, a third wanting a “second referendum”, a third a “better deal”, and a third “no deal”. As researchers of the electoral process, we have a simple solution to the impasse. We propose that a second referendum – or a new vote in the House of Commons – be based on a new method of voting, one we’ve called majority judgement. In majority judgement, voters (or MPs) would vote on a number of well-defined “leave” and “remain” alternatives and would be asked to grade each alternative according to a scale of grades from “Terrible” to “Excellent.” The alternative with the highest majority-grade wins. Why would this method fix the Brexit crisis? To prove our claim, first we explain some notions from social choice theory (such as the Condorcet and Arrow paradoxes). Then, based on a plausible estimate of current British public opinion, we contrast how the current binary voting system has gone wrong with how majority judgement could provide a winning solution. Finally, we use existing data from Pew Research surveys to show how majority judgement would have worked in the 2016 US Presidential Elections.

Personellement, il m'aurait été difficile d'exprimer un choix unique, et le #jugementmajoritaire m'a permis d'exprimer mon adhésion à la plupart des candidatures tout en donnant la possibilité de nuancer - pour un résultat final qui me satisfait complètement ! (9/10) #amieuxvoté

Bilan: on ne peut que recommander d'expérimenter le #jugementmajoritaire à l'échelle associative (ou à une échelle locale), car elle permet de faire émerger une solution consensuelle #amieuxvoté (8/10)
