基于批准的多人选举中的审议与投票

Deliberation and Voting in Approval-Based Multi-Winner Elections

Kanav Mehra, Nanda Kishore Sreenivas, Kate Larson

AI总结:

本文构建审议模型,研究不同审议机制对投票结果的影响,发现审议通常改善福利与代表性,且简单规则在适当审议下可与复杂规则媲美。

摘要:

以公民为中心的民主进程中,参与者对备选方案进行审议,然后投票做出最终决定,这种做法如今日益流行。虽然计算社会选择文献已广泛研究了投票规则,但明确关注审议过程与投票之间相互作用的研究却有限。在本文中,我们利用意见动态文献中的成熟模型构建了一个审议模型,并研究了不同审议机制对使用经过充分研究的投票规则所达成的投票结果的影响。我们的结果表明,审议通常能改善福利和代表性保障,但结果对审议过程的组织方式敏感。我们还通过实验表明,如果审议得到适当支持,简单的投票规则(如批准投票)的表现与更复杂的规则(如比例批准投票或等额分配法)一样好。这对这些投票规则在以公民为中心的民主进程中的实际应用具有影响。

英文摘要:

Citizen-focused democratic processes where participants deliberate on alternatives and then vote to make the final decision are increasingly popular today. While the computational social choice literature has extensively investigated voting rules, there is limited work that explicitly looks at the interplay of the deliberative process and voting. In this paper, we build a deliberation model using established models from the opinion-dynamics literature and study the effect of different deliberation mechanisms on voting outcomes achieved when using well-studied voting rules. Our results show that deliberation generally improves welfare and representation guarantees, but the results are sensitive to how the deliberation process is organized. We also show, experimentally, that simple voting rules, such as approval voting, perform as well as more sophisticated rules such as proportional approval voting or method of equal shares if deliberation is properly supported. This has ramifications on the practical use of such voting rules in citizen-focused democratic processes.
