Abstract

We formulate a new ranking procedure in the traditional context where each voter has expressed a linear order relation or ranking over the candidates. The final ranking of the candidates is taken to be the one which best adheres to a natural monotonicity constraint. For a ranking a@?b@?c, monotonicity implies that the strength with which a@?c is supported should not be less than the strength with which either one of a@?b or b@?c is supported. We investigate some properties of this ranking procedure and encounter some surprising preliminary results.
