Abstract:

The Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA) was a response to the controversial presidential election of 2000. In accordance with HAVA requirements for federal elections, states were mandated to replace punch card voting systems and mechanical lever voting machines with more up-to-date systems that use current technology. As replacements, states selected optical scan (OS) and direct record electronic (DRE) voting systems. Computer scientists questioned the security of OS and DRE voting systems, and politicians questioned their accuracy. Thus, the goals of this research were to analyze the accurac

Abstract:

Proponents claim that the convenience of early voting increases voter turnout by reducing the time and effort to vote through expanded opportunities for participation beyond "traditional" in-person voting at polling places on election day. Yet, anecdotal evidence suggests that reforms intended to make the voting process easier do not have the same effect throughout the electorate. Instead, early voting is likely to exacerbate the lack of ability to meaningfully participate in the electoral process for those particularly vulnerable to the costs of voting. Fundamentally, early voting requires ac

Abstract:

Voting and general elections serves as a cornerstone of modern democracies as it is through this process that the public makes their political positions heard and collectively elect leaders. While many parts of governments across the world are focusing heavily on digitization, voting is one area that remains offline and analog in many developed countries. Current voting systems continue to be scrutinized, most notably in the US after the 2016 presidential election where integrity of votes was put into question. This calls for innovation in the area of voting and blockchain has proven to be a d

Abstract:

In AI, multi-agent decision problems are of central importance, in which independent agents aggregate their heterogeneous preference orders among all alternatives and the result of this aggregation can be a single alternative, corresponding to the groups collective decision, or a complete aggregate ranking of all the alternatives. Voting is a general method for aggregating the preferences of multiple agents. An important technical issue that arises is manipulation of voting schemes: a voter may be to make the outcome most favorable to itself (with respect to his own preferences) by report- ing

Selecting an effective method for combining the votes of classifiers in an ensemble can have a significant impact on the overall classification accuracy an ensemble is able to achieve. With some methods, the ensemble cannot even achieve as high a classification accuracy as the most accurate individual classifying component. To address this issue, we present the strategy of Heuristic Weighted Voting, a technique that uses heuristics to determine the confidence that a classifier has in its predictions on an instance by instance basis.

In this thesis we extend the study of strategic voting to two frameworks that are novel to the literature. First, by analysing a four-party competition with purely instrumentally motivated voters (Part I); second, by focusing on a three-party competition where voters have instrumental and expressive motivations (Part II). We aim to explore an existing gap in the literature and, in particular, to investigate the possibility of a voting equilibrium with partial strategic voting and its stability.

Abstract:

This thesis deals with voting processes. A Voting process models the exchange of opinions in a population of agents, commonly represented by vertices of a graph. Usually, an opinion represents the current state of the agent, and by interacting with neighbouring agents, such an opinion may change over time. Depending on the context, the set of valid opinions can be, for instance, {0, 1},{+, −}, {agree, disagree}, and {healthy, infected} among others. The main research questions about a voting process are: i) Does the system reach consensus?, that is, if the system reaches a stable configuration

We address some of the challenges in achieving internet voting for real world elections. One challenge is that home-based computers are likely to be infected by malware, threatening both the integrity and privacy of the vote. Another concern is the possibility that a voter may be coerced to vote in a particular way, for example by a family member or organised crime ring. Moreover, any voting system intended to be used on a large scale should not require complex operations by voters whose purpose is hard to understand.

There have been many approaches where Blockchain was used to implement an E- voting scenario. Some used smart contracts, some used different Consensus algorithms like Proof of work, proof of stake, etc. Every implementation had some problems and some of them are the throughput of transactions, the feasibility, the cost of transactions, consensus mechanisms and so on. Consensus mechanisms play an important role in performance of a blockchain system and thus we outline the use of Proof of Authority -Authority Round implementation for a private blockchain based E-voting system and try to figure

Abstract:

This thesis builds on previous work in dual process theory. Dual process theory argues that decisions are made based on two systems: one that is fast and one that is automatic. Based on evidence from psychological research, I argue that contextual cues such as the way voting is framed and the information available to voters should affect the way these two systems are used. When voters have more developed affective feelings or are manipulated to feel as if vote choice is an affective decision, they should be less likely to engage in cognitive reasoning.

As opposed to the classical voting system (one person - one decision - one vote), we first propose a new voting system where agents are endowed with a fixed number of votes that can be distributed freely between a predetermined number of issues that have to be approved or dismissed. Its novelty, and appeal, relies on allowing voters to express the intensity of their preferences in a simple manner. This voting system is optimal in a well-defined sense:

Through panel data analysis the study finds support in favour of a negative relationship in that as economic inequality rises, voting participation in parliamentary elections decreases.
