Voting+Project+Grad+Sheet

Now that we have learned a variety of ways to vote we are going to use the various methods of election to get the class’s opinion on different topics. You are going to select a topic of your choice (school appropriate) and pick three items from that topic. You will then have all of your classmates rank the 3 items from 1st to 3rd place. From that data, you will make a preference schedule. You will use the schedule to apply the 7 methods we studied to determine a winner. Keep in mind different methods may produce different winners. Once you have done all 7 methods, you will decide which candidate is the overall winner. Be sure to explain why. You will be assessed on the following:
 * Voting/Ranking Project **
 * You create an idea with 3 alternatives to rank
 * You poll the whole class
 * You create a preference schedule
 * You apply the following methods to the schedule to determine a winner. **Be sure to clearly explain how each method works and show or explain who the winner is using each method.**
 * ** Majority **
 * Plurality
 * Condorcet
 * Borda Count
 * Sequential Pair wise majority
 * Hare System (eliminate the loser)
 * Winners’ Runoff
 * You determine an overall winner
 * You create a PowerPoint to support your election showing all of your work. It should include:
 * Pictures
