Modified Borda Count
The Modified Borda Count, MBC, uses the formula first devised by Jean-Charles de Borda in 1784 for what has become known as a Borda Count, BC. In a ballot on n options, a voter may cast m preferences, where n ≥ m ≥ 1. In a BC, points are awarded to (1st, 2nd ... last) preferences cast according to the rule (n, n-1 ... 1) or (n-1, n-2 ... 0). In an MBC, points are awarded according to the rule (m, m-1 ... 1). If everyone has cast a full ballot, it makes no difference. If some have submitted truncated votes, however, the difference can be huge. Indeed, in the worst case scenario -- i.e., in a divided society on a contentious issue -- the BC can morph into a plurality vote, which is what de Borda bitterly opposed. Yours sincerely, Peter Emerson Director, the de Borda Institute www.deborda.org
