This book explains, in a straightforward way, the foundations upon
which electoral techniques are based in order to shed new light on
what we actually do when we vote. The intention is to highlight the
fact that no matter how an electoral system has been designed, and
regardless of the intentions of those who devised the system, there
will be goals that are impossible to achieve but also opportunities
for improving the situation in an informed way. While detailed
descriptions of electoral systems are not provided, many references
are made to current or past situations, both as examples and to
underline particular problems and shortcomings. In addition, a new
voting method that avoids the many paradoxes of voting theory is
described in detail. While some knowledge of mathematics is
required in order to gain the most from the book, every effort has
been made to ensure that the subject matter is easily accessible
for non-mathematicians, too. In short, this is a book for anyone
who wants to understand the meaning of voting.
