Abstract
We define a new class of low-communication voting rules, tailored for contexts with few voters and
possibly many candidates. These rules are defined
by a predefined sequence of voters: at each stage,
the designated voter eliminates a candidate, and the
last remaining candidate wins. We study deterministic and randomized versions of these rules. We
first investigate their axiomatic properties. Then
we focus on a subfamily of rules defined by “noninterleaved” sequences, for which we seek a sequence that best approximates the Borda rule under Impartial Culture. Finally, we apply our rules
to randomly generated data
