Abstract

During the first round of the presidential election on April 22, 2017, voters from three polling stations in the municipality of Fort-de-France (Martinique) were asked to test two voting methods: the Alternative Vote and the Borda rule at 4. The purpose of this paper is to report the results of this experiment which is the first of its kind in the overseas territories. The results obtained show discrepancies with official results at both local and national levels. On the basis of the gross results, in addition to being the winner under each of the rules tested, J.-L. Mélenchon is also the Condorcet winner while J. Cheminade is the Condorcet loser under the alternative vote and M. Le Pen is the Condorcet loser under the rule of Borda at 4. After correcting the bias of representativeness and participation, E. Macron becomes the winner for each of the rule tested.
