**The Science of Choice: Why Ranked Choice Voting Isn't Just for Politics**
May 21st, 2024
7pm - 9pm
In Person
Location: **Mutation Brewing, 5825 Roswell Rd NE, Sandy Springs, GA 30328**

**Description**
Why is it so hard for third-party candidates to win modern elections? How does voting in political races differ from the way college teams are ranked or how the Oscars are awarded? And how can a business, city, or state choose among multiple candidates for a program without a costly and time-consuming runoff procedure? The answers to these questions can be found in understanding concepts from Ranked Choice Voting and Game Theory, a branch of mathematics devoted to interactive decisions.
If you've heard phrases like "win-win" and "zero-sum" or seen movies like "The Dark Knight" and "A Beautiful Mind", you've already been exposed to ideas from game theory. In particular, we will look at alternative voting mechanisms, and how you can implement them with your organization, whether it's something like choosing a location for the office holiday party, deciding on what brand of coffee to put in the break room, or how to select a board chairman from several candidates.
Those wanting a preview of some of the topics can check out the interactive web apps here on The Evolution of Trust and Building a Better Ballot or [follow this link](https://sciencelookup.org/knowledge-base1/ranked-choice-voting/) to Sci4ga's Ranked Choice white paper.
