Research Type Theoretical Our work focuses on a generalization of the classic Minisum approval voting rule... Additionally we investigate the complexity of problems related to the strategic control of such elections... We exhibit that in most variants of these problems, CMS is resistant against control. Our main goal is to investigate algorithmic and complexity aspects of solving and controlling elections under CMS. More precisely, our results in Section 3, provide characterizations for the families of CMS instances that can be placed in P and FPT. Theorem 1. If the global dependency graph of a CMS instance... has constant treewidth, then the problem is optimally solvable in polynomial time... Theorem 2. Every binary CSP with primal graph G, can be reduced in polynomial time to a CMS instance... Corollary 1. ...there is a polynomial algorithm for CMS(G) if and only if every graph in G has constant treewidth.
