informative voting may be incompatible with equilibrium. We analyze an anonymous randomized majority rule that has a unique … different values to the two types of mistake that may occur. Most voting rules have a plethora of uninformative equilibria, and … equilibrium. This equilibrium is strict, votes are informative, and the equilibrium implements the optimal decision with …
