- Ties are briefly mentioned in Chapter 1. Look at three different types of elections
whereby a tie occurred (example: politics, music awards, football awards). What were the
results? Based on fairness criteria mentioned in the chapter, is this fair? What is usually
done during a tie, what are the general principles applied? Ensure you cover the pros,
cons and shortcomings to the results of a tie. - Choose one type of election (example: US (or any other country) presidential election,
city council, senator elections, primary elections, elections involving mayors, governors,
board members, elections in sports or entertainment) and explain the basics of how they
function. How does the voting process work? How does counting work? How does that
relate to principles mentioned in the chapter. Make sure you cover how it happens, how it
impacts the voters, mention any pros/cons.
