This book presents theoretical and empirical aspects of single- and multi-winner voting procedures. It examines the susceptibility of procedures to the main voting paradoxes and discusses the relevance of the theoretical results to the choice of voting system.

Both theoretical and empirical aspects of single- and multi-winner voting procedures are presented in this collection of papers. Starting from a discussion of the underlying principles of democratic representation, the volume includes a description of a great variety of voting procedures. It lists and illustrates their susceptibility to the main voting paradoxes, assesses (under various models of voters' preferences) the probability of paradoxical outcomes, and discusses the relevance of the theoretical results to the choice of voting system.

Representative Electoral Systems - Underlying Assumptions and Decision Rules.- Paradoxes Afflicting Electoral Procedures and Their Expected Probability.- Theory and Practice - Additional Considerations in Selecting a Voting Procedure.
