Research Type Theoretical In voting theory, when voters have ranked preferences over candidates, the celebrated Gibbard-Satterthwaite Theorem essentially rules out the existence of reasonable strategyproof methods for picking a winner. ... Our contributions. We begin by presenting various classes of beliefs induced by classic probabilistic social choice models such as the Mallows [15], Thurstone-Mosteller [23, 18], and Placket Luce [20, 12] models. ... Next, we provide a negative result: Among positional scoring rules (where each voter assigns a fixed score to each position in their ranking), plurality is unique in being OBIC when voters have Mallows beliefs.
