We propose a Condorcet-consistent voting method that we call Split Cycle. Split Cycle belongs to the small family of known voting methods satisfying the anti-vote-splitting criterion of independence of clones. In this family, only Split Cycle satisfies a new criterion we call immunity to spoilers, which concerns adding candidates to elections, as well as the known criteria of positive involvement and negative involvement, which concern adding voters to elections. Thus, in contrast to other clone-independent methods, Split Cycle mitigates both “spoiler effects” and “strong no show paradoxes.”

Split Cycle：一种新的孔多塞一致投票方法，独立于克隆且不受剧透影响

我们提出了一种孔多塞一致的投票方法，我们称之为分割循环。Split Cycle 属于满足克隆独立性的反投票标准的已知投票方法的小家族。在这个家族中，只有分割周期满足我们称为“破坏者豁免”的新标准，该标准涉及在选举中添加候选人，以及已知的积极参与和消极参与标准，该标准涉及在选举中添加选民。因此，与其他独立于克隆的方法相比，分割循环减轻了“剧透效应”和“强烈的不出现悖论”。
