Polynomial-time algorithm for Thiele voting rules with voter interval preferences

advanced Published 8 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Identify the voting rule and voter preferences
  2. Construct a weighted graph representing voter approvals
  3. Apply dynamic programming to compute the optimal committee
  4. Extend the algorithm to the Generalized Thiele rule with individual voter weights
