A ranked voting system using a data envelopment analysis/assurance region exclusion model: A note

This paper addresses ranked voting systems to determine an ordering of candidates in terms of the aggregate vote by rank for each candidate. It is shown that specifying nothing arbitrary, we can obtain a total ordering of candidates by using a Data Envelopment Analysis/Assurance Region exclusion model. Explaining the evaluation criterion used to rank candidates, it is concluded that we may consider the system proposed at least as an alternative to determine an ordering of candidates.
