Graduated majority judgment (GMJ), sometimes called the usual judgment[1] or continuous Bucklin voting,[2] is a single-winner rated voting rule that selects the candidate with the highest median score.[1] It was first suggested as an improvement on majority judgment by Andrew Jennings in 2010.[3]
GMJ begins by counting all ballots for their first choice. If no candidate has a majority then later (second, third, etc.) preferences are gradually added in, continuing until one candidate reaches 50% approval. The first candidate to reach a majority of the vote is the winner.
