NAME

Vote::Count::BottomRunOff

VERSION 2.00

Description

Bottom RunOff is an elimination method which takes the two lowest choices, usually by Top Count, but alternately by another method such as Approval or Borda, the choice which would lose a runoff is eliminated.

Synopsis

  my $eliminate = $Election->BottomRunOff();
  # log the pairing result
  $Election->logd( $eliminate->{'runoff'} );
  $Election->logv( "eliminated ${\ $eliminate->{'eliminate'} }."
  $Election->Defeat( $eliminate->{'eliminate'} );

BottomRunOff ($method)

The TieBreakMethod must either be 'precedence' or TieBreakerFallBackPrecedence must be true or BottomRunOff will die. It takes a parameter of method, which is the method used to rank the active choices. The default method is 'TopCount', 'Approval' is a common alternative, any method which returns a RankCount object could be used.

  my $result = BottomRunOff( $Election, 'Approval' );

The returned value is a hashref with the keys: eliminate, continuing, and runoff, runoff is formatted as a table.
