New indices measure agreement, diversity, and polarization in elections

Researchers have developed new indices to quantify agreement, diversity, and polarization within approval elections. These indices are designed to be normalized, ensuring that elections differing only in the average number of approved candidates yield similar index values. The proposed indices are then applied to map approval elections and highlight similarities and differences across various real-world election datasets. AI

    Agreement, Diversity, and Polarization Indices for Approval Elections

    An index is a function that given an election outputs a value between 0 and 1, indicating the extent to which this election has a particular feature. We seek indices that capture agreement, diversity, and polarization among voters in approval elections, and that are normalized wi…
