Strategic sequential voting prevents Condorcet losers, boosts voter coordination in elections
The article explores a new voting system called strategic sequential voting. Voters can choose when to cast their vote, and the current vote count is made public after each round. In elections with three or more candidates, voters who strongly prefer one candidate tend to vote early to show support, while those who want to prevent a specific candidate from winning wait to see who has the best chance of beating them. This system helps voters coordinate their choices and reduces the risk of a less popular candidate winning due to miscommunication. Additionally, voting early can influence other voters' decisions, potentially swaying the final outcome.
