Voter (COMSOC)

Voter (COMSOC)

In COMSOC, a voter is an agent whose preferences over alternatives are considered in a collective decision. For a finite set of voters,

$$V=\{v_1,\dots ,v_n\},v_i\in V,$$

each $v_i$ is one voter, and $n$ is the number of voters. Depending on the model, a voter reports a ranking, approves a subset of alternatives or assigns scores; a voter need not be a person.
