Modeling Representation of Minorities Under Multiwinner Voting Rules

Computer Science and Game Theory 2016-04-11 v1

Abstract

The goal of this paper is twofold. First and foremost, we aim to experimentally and quantitatively show that the choice of a multiwinner voting rule can play a crucial role on the way minorities are represented. We also test the possibility for some of these rules to achieve proportional representation.
