Favorite betrayal criterion

Favorite betrayal criterion

The Favorite Betrayal criterion is a criterion for evaluating voting methods formulated by Mike Ossipoff. The criterion may be stated as, "There is no set of votes such that a given voter can improve (from his perspective) the outcome by raising his vote for someone over his favorite."

Approval voting, Range voting, Minimax (pairwise opposition), and anti-plurality voting comply with the favorite betrayal criterion. The Borda count, Bucklin voting, Plurality voting, IRV, and all Condorcet methods fail.
