Majority judgment

Majority Judgment is a new voting system, created by two research directors at CNRS, Rida Laraki and Michel Balinski.

The voter vote by evaluating each candidate, using a scale of values (for example: Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair, Insufficient, To reject). The candidat the best evaluated by a majority wins the election.

To this day, majority judgment is the voting system that measures the most faithfully the opinion, while putting an end to everything that prevents the voiter to express him/her-self: useful voting, default voting and blank voting.
