Alternative voting, alternative outcomes: 2018 Presidential election in the Czech Republic
Original language description
In this paper, the official two-round system is compared to the D21- Janeček method, using representative data collected during the 2018 presidential election in the Czech Republic. Under the D21-Janeček method, voters were allowed to cast up to three plus votes, with the option of casting one minus vote for the nine presidential candidates. Because of the systematically capped multiple votes, the outcome of the Janeček method differed significantly from the actual election. Additional votes provided more information about voters' preferences and candidates' profiles. Here it showed that the Janeček method favours inclusive candidates who are able to attract the support from voters of other candidates, and disadvantages polarising candidates. Furthermore, the overlap of plus and minus votes reveals which candidates are most hurt by the splitting of votes under plurality voting. A relatively large overlap of plus votes between the main two contenders also suggests that the differences between them were not as big as was presented by the media.
