| Research Type | Theoretical | We address this issue by characterizing two important subclasses of ABC scoring rules in the standard ABC election model, thereby both extending the result for ABC ranking rules to the standard setting and refining it to subclasses. In more detail, by relying on a consistency axiom for variable electorates, we characterize (i) the prominent class of Thiele rules and (ii) a new class of ABC voting rules called ballot size weighted approval voting. Based on these theorems, we also infer characterizations of three well-known ABC voting rules, namely multi-winner approval voting, proportional approval voting, and satisfaction approval voting. |
