Abstract: Abstract We examine 17 preferential ballot voting methods using three criteria: (1) mathematical properties, (2) game-theoretic considerations, and (3) practical real-world outcomes. The challenge of comparing and contrasting the real-world outcomes of different voting methods is the sheer number of possible elections that can exist. We combat this challenge by introducing a new way of visualizing outcomes in what we dub a “DNA sequence” for each voting method.
