Binary Election Sequences

This Demonstration shows how the sequencing of binary elections, in which voters choose between two alternatives, winnows multiple alternatives down to a single "winner." You can select (a) an electorate index that specifies the preferences amongst the magenta, blue, green and golden choices among all members of the electorate, (b) an election sequence index that specifies the sequence of choices faced by voters, and (c) the size of the electorate that will be permitted to vote. The Demonstration outputs rows showing, in the left column, the alternatives available in the election, and, in the right column, the electorate's preferences among the choices remaining after the loser from the binary election has been culled. The bottom right cell shows the choice that wins as a result of the election process.
