Introduction:
The Constitution of the Philippines,
stipulates that the election is held every six
years. The incumbent president’s term is
limited for 6 years and cannot run for another
term. The plurality voting system is used to
determine the winner: the candidate with the
highest number of votes, whether or not one
has a majority, wins the presidency.
The Philippines has a multi-party system,
with numerous parties in which no one party
often has a chance of gaining power alone, and
parties must work with each other to form a
coalition government. This can be done by
weighted voting system.

Fairness Criteria
Majority Criterion
The candidate who receives a majority
of the first-place votes is the winner.
Monotonicity Criterion
If candidate A wins an election, then
candidate A will also win the election if the
only change in the voters’ preferences is
that supporters of a different candidate
change their votes to support candidate A.
Fairness Criteria
Condorcet criterion
A candidate who wins all possible
head-to-head matchups should win an
election when all candidates appear on
the ballot.
Independence of irrelevant alternatives
If a candidate wins an election, the
winner should remain the winner in any
recount in which losing candidates
withdraw from the race.
Fairness Criteria
Non-dictatorship
If the preference choice should
NOT simply follow the preference
voter’s ranking of a single individual
while ignoring others.
