In many contexts of everyday life we find ourselves faced with the
problem of reconciling the views of several persons. These problems
are usually solved by resorting to some opinion aggre gating
procedure, like voting. Very often the problem is thought of as
being solved after the decision to take a vote has been made and
the ballots have been counted. Most official decision making bodies
have formally instituted procedures of voting but in informal
groups such procedures are typically chosen in casu. Curiously
enough people do not seem to pay much attention to which particular
procedure is being resorted to as long as some kind of voting takes
place. As we shall see shortly the procedure being used often makes
a great difference to the voting outcomes. Thus, the Question
arises as to which voting procedure is best. This book is devoted
to a discussion of this problem in the light of various criteria of
optimality. We shall deal with a number of procedures that have
been proposed for use or are actually in use in voting contexts.
The aim of this book is to give an evaluation of the virtues and
shortcomings of these procedures. On the basis of this evaluation
the reader will hopefully be able to determine which procedure is
optimal for the decision setting that he or she has in mind."
