Quadratic Voting

Summary

Quadratic Voting is a voting system that allows individuals to express the intensity of their preferences rather than just the direction of their preferences. It enables voters to allocate votes based on how strongly they feel about issues, fostering a more nuanced decision-making process.

Detailed Description

Quadratic Voting is a system where individuals can cast multiple votes on an issue, but the cost of additional votes increases quadratically. For example, if a voter wants to vote for a choice once, it costs one vote; however, to cast a second vote for that choice, it costs four votes (1^2 + 1^2). This means that stronger preferences can be expressed without overwhelming the voting process. This system aims to address the problem of majority rule often overlooking minority preferences, and it is thought to yield more socially optimal outcomes by allowing individuals to express the strength of their preferences.
