流动民主中的委托控制

Controlling Delegations in Liquid Democracy

Shiri Alouf-Heffetz, Tanmay Inamdar, Pallavi Jain, Yash More, Nimrod Talmon

AI总结:

针对流动民主中委托投票带来的选票操纵风险,本文将一类可改变委托弧的选举控制形式化,并研究了对应组合问题的计算复杂度。

摘要:

在流动民主中,智能体既可以直接投票,也可以将选票委托给自己选择的另一个智能体。这会形成一种权力结构,其中某些智能体拥有比其他智能体更高的投票权重。因此,这带来了一些直接民主标准投票场景中不存在的选票操纵可能性,包括控制和贿选。本文将一类选举控制(外部智能体可改变某些委托弧)形式化,并研究了相应组合问题的计算复杂度。

英文摘要:

In liquid democracy, agents can either vote directly or delegate their vote to a different agent of their choice. This results in a power structure in which certain agents possess more voting weight than others. As a result, it opens up certain possibilities of vote manipulation, including control and bribery, that do not exist in standard voting scenarios of direct democracy. Here we formalize a certain kind of election control -- in which an external agent may change certain delegation arcs -- and study the computational complexity of the corresponding combinatorial problem.
