2003 Debian Project Leader Election

From electowiki
Wikipedia has an article on:

These are the results from the 2003 Debian Project Leader election. In 2003, The Debian Project used the Schulze method, but results using other methods (e.g. Instant runoff voting) are also provided here for comparison purposes. A detailed discussion of these results is also available[1], written in 2003 before Electowiki existed. It's mirrored here: User:RobLa/Debian2003.

Regarding the conversion of ranked ballots to range ballots: the approval voting tally provided below assumes all candidates better than "NOTA" (none of the above) are approved. In this tally, all candidates rated equal to or below NOTA are not approved.

Details

  • Candidates:
    • Bdale Garbee
    • Michael Michlmayr
    • Branden Robinson
    • Moshe Zadka
    • None Of The Above ("NOTA")
  • Total votes: 488

Results

Schulze Method(wv-mod)

The winner is Michlmayr.

Detailed Results

The results below were calculated using the Beatpath algorithm for Schulze(wv-mod). This is done first calculating the pairwise results, then creating two matrices of winning votes (with negative opponents' votes in event of a loss) and margin of victory. It then calculates two Beatpath matricies, which is a matrix of the better of a direct victory or a transitive victory. The transitive victory strength of x over z is the weakest victory of x over y and y over z. The winning votes matrix is used as a primary source, iwith the margins matrix used as a tiebreaker. The winner is the candidate for which there are no beatpath defeats.

Detailed Results

The results below were calculated using the Approval method. The winner of an Approval election is the candidate that is approved by the greatest number of voters. Since some ballot types are more expressive than necessary for approval, the results below were calculated assuming that any score strictly greater than zero constitutes "approval", and any score equal to or less than zero constitutes "disapproval".
