3. The chief of Avalon is being chosen in an election using borda count method. The five
candidates are Hercules (H), Achilles (A), Odysseus (O), Theseus (T), and Perseus (P).
Seven thousand registered voters cast their preference ballots. The results are
summarized in the preference schedule below.

Number of Votes
Place 1,340 1,100 1,240 1,320 1,290 710
1st choice P P H A A H
2nd choice H A P P T T
3rd choice T T A H P O
4th choice A O T O O A
th
5 choice O H O T H P

Solution:
Hercules (H)
(5)(2) + (4)(1) + (3)(5) + (2)(4) + (1)(1) = 10 + 4 + 15 + 8 + 1 = 38

Achilles (A)
(5)(1) + (4)(3) + (3)(2) + (2)(1) + (1)(2) = 5 + 12 + 6 + 2 + 2 = 27

Odysseus (O)
(5)(4) + (4)(2) + (3)(6) + (2)(5) + (1)(4) = 20 + 8 + 18 + 10 + 4 = 60

Theseus (T)
(5)(3) + (4)(4) + (3)(3) + (2)(2) + (1)(5) = 15 + 16 + 9 + 4 + 5 = 49

Perseus (P)
(5)(6) + (4)(5) + (3)(1) + (2)(3) + (1)(6) = 30 + 20 + 3 + 6 + 6 = 65

The borda counts for each candidate is as follow.

Hercules (H): 38 Odysseus (O): 60 Perseus (P): 65
