Abstract: In this chapter, we aim to describe the two kinds of influence a voting method has on individual preferences. Experimental data on approval voting and evaluation voting collected during the 2007 French presidential elections enable to bring into light the filtering effects (restriction of ballot information, strategic behaviors), and the endogenous effect of voting rules. In particular, we stress that the endogenous effect of a voting rule encourages individuals to express others-regarding preferences instead of self-regarding ones. Following Frankfurt (1971), Sen (1977) and Goodin (1986), we call the former metaranking - ranking on rankings of preferences.
