Description: Group decision-making procedure in which preference is specified using voting strategies in a given scenario (for instance, a first-past-the-post election)
Declared-Strategy Voting: An Instrument for Group Decision-Making Declared-Strategy Voting: An Instrument for Group Decision-Making The goal of this research is to determine whether (DSV) can be an effective tool for group decision-making. DSV is a novel group decision-making procedure in which preference is specified using voting strategies--first-order mathematical functions that specify a choice in terms of zero or more parameters. Three ideas motivate DSV: the possibility of taking advantage of electronic voting systems to achieve more beneficial methods of vote aggregation than are feasible with traditional voting systems, the desire to find an information-neutral voting system, and the desire to maximize a voting system's expressiveness. We present designs for two types of DSV systems: batch DSV and ballot-by-ballot DSV. We also develop a rational-strategy formulator that can determine optimal strategies for each voter given only the voter's cardinal utilities for each alternative. Our strategy formulator is based on the expected-utility model of voting and employs a novel technique for calculating pivot probabilities. We present the results of a DSV acceptability study as well as DSV simulations of several types of voting situations.
