Nobel Women's Initiative

Welcome to the home page of the de Borda Institute, a Northern Ireland-based international organisation (an NGO) which aims to promote the use of inclusive voting procedures on all contentious questions of social choice. For more information use the menu options on the right or feel free to contact the organisation's headquarters. If you want to check the meaning of any of the terms used, then by all means have a look at this glossary.
As shown in these attachments, there are many decision-making and even more electoral systems
Sometimes, for any one voters' profile - that is, all their preferences - the outcome of any count may well depend on the voting procedure used. In this hypothetical example, in which a dozen individuals cast their preferences on five options, the profile is analysed according to six different methodologies, and the winner could be any one of all five options, that or a tie of all five! Yet all six methodologies are called democratic! Extraordinary.
