The ''random ballot'' method is decisive, in that there is no possibility of a tied vote, assuming that the selected voter has expressed a preference (if not then another ballot can be selected at random). It is Unbiased in that the Probability of a particular result is equal to the proportion of total support that that result has in all the votes. It is also strategy-free in that there is no advantage in Tactical Voting . But it is not deterministic, in that a different random selection could have produced a different result, and it undermines Majority rule since there is a substantial possibility that the selected voter may be in the Minority . It is less a practical form of Democracy and more a theoretical method designed to explain some of the properties of other Voting Method s, although it is occasionally used in real life as a tiebreaker for other methods. |
