Co-op board — Yes/No approval ballot (same nine voters)¶

Generated from coop_board_approval.yaml — do not edit by hand. Regenerate: python STARVote_LH_tabulation_engine/tools_adam/scripts/build_yaml_pages.py.

Method: Approval Voting · 3 seats · Expected winners: Chris, Dana, Ella

Scenario¶

The APPROVAL half of the matched pair. Same nine co-op members, same opinions as coop_board_scores_allocated.yaml -- projected onto a Yes/No ballot by a stated rule: APPROVE IFF SCORE >= 3.

The threshold is a choice, and it is the whole experiment. State it, and read the result as evidence about this projection rather than about approval voting in general.

Approval counts: Chris 9, Dana 5, Ella 5, Ben 4, Amy 2.

The LH engine counts this file as BLOC approval (top-N by approvals). The PROPORTIONAL approval rules -- seq-Phragmen, PAV, seqPAV -- are not in the LH engine; run them with the abcvoting wrapper:

.venv/bin/python 06_Other/abcvoting_tabulation_engine/abc_tabulation.py \ method_comparisons/proportional_ballots/cases/coop_board_approval.yaml

All four approval rules agree here: Chris, Dana, Ella. The score ballot's two proportional tabulations both say Ben, Chris, Dana.

Ballots¶

Row 1 = candidate names; each later row is one voter's approvals (1 = approve, 0/blank = not approved).

Amy,Ben,Chris,Dana,Ella
1,0,1,1,1      # Member 1 — scored 5,1,3,3,4
0,0,1,1,0      # Member 2 — scored 2,2,4,3,0
0,1,1,0,1      # Member 3 — scored 0,4,4,2,3
0,1,1,1,1      # Member 4 — scored 1,3,4,4,4
1,0,1,0,1      # Member 5 — scored 5,2,5,2,5
0,0,1,0,0      # Member 6 — scored 1,2,4,0,0
0,0,1,1,0      # Member 7 — scored 1,2,5,4,2
0,1,1,0,1      # Member 8 — scored 2,5,4,0,4
0,1,1,1,0      # Member 9 — scored 1,3,3,5,0
