DOI: 10.1007/s10458-022-09551-z
Abstract: Classical voting rules assume that ballots are complete preference orders over candidates. However, when the number of candidates is large enough, it is too costly to ask the voters to rank all candidates. We suggest… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10586-018-2162-7
Abstract: The traditional paper-based voting is severely criticized after having found evidence of rigging in elections, leading to the uncertainty in the fairness of the election process. Traditional voting systems have severe issues in either user’s… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10723-019-09478-y
Abstract: We propose a decentralised end-to-end voting platform (from voter to candidate) based on the block-chain technology. In particular, we study and exploit both the non-permissioned ledger of Bitcoin, and the MultiChain permissioned ledger. We describe… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10726-020-09697-9
Abstract: Abstract Voting paradoxes have played an important role in the theory of voting. They typically say very little about the circumstances in which they are particularly likely or unlikely to occur. They are basically existence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11109-018-9474-4
Abstract: Election reform has allowed citizens in many states to choose among convenience voting methods. We report on a field experiment that tests messages derived from theories about government responsiveness, choice, information, and convenience on the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11109-020-09598-2
Abstract: This paper reassesses the claim that electronic voting systems help voters to avoid common mistakes that lead to their votes remaining uncounted. While prior studies have come to mixed conclusions, I provide new, more robust… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11127-017-0414-3
Abstract: Quadratic voting and the normalized gradient addition mechanism are both social choice mechanisms that confront individuals with quadratic budget constraints, but they are applicable in different contexts. Adapting one or both to apply to the… read more here.
