Otherwise, the other voters use a classic voting rule, for example the Borda count. This game form is clearly dictatorial, because voter 1 can impose the result. However, it is not strategyproof: the other voters face the same issue of strategic voting as in the usual Borda count. Thus, Gibbard's theorem is an implication and not an equivalence.
Gibbard's proof of the theorem is more general and covers processes of collective decision that may not be ordinal, such as cardinal voting. [note 1] Gibbard's 1978 theorem and Hylland's theorem are even more general and extend these results to non-deterministic processes, where the outcome may depend partly on chance; the Duggan–Schwartz ...
Gibbard's theorem shows that no deterministic single-winner voting method can be completely immune to strategy, but makes no claims about the severity of strategy or how often strategy succeeds. Later results show that some methods are more manipulable than others. [2] [12]
Gibbard's theorem shows that any strategyproof game form (i.e. one with a dominant strategy) with more than two outcomes is dictatorial. The Gibbard–Satterthwaite theorem is a special case showing that no deterministic voting system can be fully invulnerable to strategic voting in all circumstances, regardless of how others vote.
According to Gibbard's theorem tactical voting is possible in all non-dictatorial deterministic voting systems that choose a single winner, and the Duggan-Schwartz theorem shows that most ranked methods electing multiple winners also fail to be strategyproof. A number of methods of tactical or strategic voting exist that can be used in ...
Charts and data put into context the tens of millions of votes already cast in the 2024 presidential election. ... Two charts and a map to help make sense of all the early voting data. Joe Murphy.
The revelation principle shows that, while Gibbard's theorem proves it is impossible to design a system that will always be fully invulnerable to strategy (if we do not know how players will behave), it is possible to design a system that encourages honesty given a solution concept (if the corresponding equilibrium is unique).

Virginia’s state law allows for ranked-choice voting, but it’s not currently in use. These states use ranked-choice voting in some localities: California. Colorado. Delaware. Illinois ...
