Research Type Theoretical We establish a general framework based on random utility theory for ranked voting on a social network with arbitrarily many alternatives... We identify a family of voting rules which... are guaranteed to recover the ground truth with high probability in large networks... We analyze the performance of two disjoint families of voting rules PM-c rules and PD-c rules... Under a mild condition... we show that all PM-c rules, an important subset of PD-c rules, and the modal ranking rule are accurate in the limit... We now use Lemma 1 to derive our main result. Theorem 1. If there exists a universal constant D N such that... all PM-c rules, the modal ranking rule, and all strict positional scoring rules are accurate in the limit... Computer-based simulations provided non-trivial counterexamples (presented in the full version).
