VoteFair representation Ranking |
| |
| First-most
representative choice is: |
Kenny, Enda -
Fine Gael |
| Second-most
representative choice is: |
Ahern, Bertie -
Fianna Fáil |
|
Additional levels of
representation were not
calculated.
(There may be too many
questions, too many choices for
this question, or too many
votes, or no further
calculations were requested.)
|
|
VoteFair representation ranking
results should be used when more than one choice
is to be selected. Why? When there are 100
voters, 51 of them can choose the first winner,
so the other 49 voters deserve extra influence
in choosing the second winner (instead of
letting the 51 voters also choose the second
winner). When should representation results be
used? When a second candidate is elected to a
second equivalent seat in a state legislature,
or when an organization pursues a simultaneous
second activity in addition to the most popular
activity. |

Kenny, Enda - Fine Gael |
| Instant runoff |
A winner cannot
be identified because, in one of
the rounds of voting, there is a
tie among the choices with the
fewest votes.
(1 ballot at least partially
ignored because it includes an
equal preference at a
significant step in the runoff
process.
(Choice eliminated in the first
round : McDowell, Michael -
Progressive Democrats) |
| Majority |
None of the
choices has won a majority (more
than half) the votes.
(3 ballots ignored because they
rank more than one choice as the
most-preferred choice. ) |
| Plurality |

plurality counting because they rank more than
one choice as the most-preferred choice. )
Notice that the choice with the most
plurality votes is not necessarily the most
popular. Similarly the choice with the fewest
plurality votes is not necessarily the least
popular. |
