Repeat Voting:
A Simple Way to Get More Representative Results
Sergiu Hart
Abstract
A repeat voting procedure is suggested, whereby voting
is carried out in two identical rounds. Every voter can vote in each
round, the results of the first round are made public before the second
round, and the final result is determined by adding up all the votes in
both rounds. It is argued that this simple modification of election
procedures may well increase voter participation and result in more
accurate and representative outcomes.
