Abstract

One of central questions of the theory of democracy is developing and analysing voting rules to provide optimal aggregation of preferences and representation of interests. This panel is devoted to recent findings in this area that help to understand the impact of voting problems on democratic deficit. The (re-) design of formal voting and decision procedures in democracies are discussed, using formal voting models as the primary tool of analysis.
