Abstract
We have seen several different electoral systems. Even in a small election, the same preferences can give rise to a different results depending on the system used. In this section we shall present an extreme case of how the method chosen might affect the outcome of an election in a realistic situation. This means that an electoral system could be chosen in order to favor one or another candidate.
