About the Schulze Method

The Schulze method is a preferential voting system. It is based on the Condorcet method but includes a set of methods for resolving “circular” defeats.

The Schulze method is also known as Schwartz Sequential Dropping (SSD), Cloneproof Schwartz Sequential Dropping (CSSD), Beatpath Method, Beatpath Winner, Path Voting, and Path Winner.

Número final de votantes: 113

Número de personas que se registraron para votar: 653

Perdonen que nos hayamos tardado tanto en publicar los resultados. Selectricity.org nos estaba dando un error cada vez que tratábamos de acceder los resultados. Desde el lunes , hemos estado incesablemente intentando de contactar a los administradores de Selectricity.org pero no recibimos ninguna respuesta hasta hoy . Nos contactó el líder del proyecto para disculparse por tardarse tanto en contestarnos y nos dijo que iba a intentar de arreglarlo hoy mismo. Hace unos minutos nos escribieron para decirnos que habían podido arreglar el problema. Desafortunadamente este no fue el único problema que nos enfrentamos con Selectricity.

Varías personas nos informaron que no pudieron votar porque la página les estaba dando errores. También hubo que crear más de una elección porque hubo un error en la primera que se creó  y Selectricity no tiene opciones para editar una elección después  que comienza. Ésto pudo haber sido motivo de  confusión para muchas personas. Finalmente,  hubo gente que recibió su ¨ “token” para votar para en la primera elección que se creó pero no  en el  segundo intento.

Nosotros/as  seleccionamos la plataforma de Selectricity por varias razones:

  • Estábamos familiarizados con la misma ya que es la plataforma que se utiliza para las elecciones de Students for Free Culture
  • Es libre y de código abierto, lo que era un requisito para nosotros/as ya que queríamos un sistema completamente transparente y a tono con los objetivos de Free Culture @ UPRM.
  • Está operado por un tercero muy respetado, el MIT Civic Media Lab. Queríamos que hubiese un tercer actor detrás de la elección ya que era una elección electrónica y las personas tienden  a ser escépticas , justificadamente, sobre éste tipo de elecciones.
  • Se nos  aseguró  que la plataforma podía aguantar la carga de una elección a mayor escala.
  • Implementa métodos de votación modernos, específicamente el método Schulze.

Desafortunadamente,  Selectricity no estaba listo para aguantar nuestra elección ya que tuvo demasiados participantes registrados. Lamentamos muchísimo lo ocurrido y si hubiésemos sabido que Selectricity no iba a poder aguantar la carga pues hubiésemos optado por otra plataforma. Tengan en cuenta que nosotros creamos colegiodemocrati.co, inscribimos a más de 600 personas y preparamos la elección en menos de una semana. Tuvimos muy poco tiempo para preparanos. Aun así el proceso funcionó y logramos nuestro objetivo ; los resultados obtenidos son prueba de ello.

Sin embargo y más importante aún,  éstos resultados ( a pesar  de  los problemas con la plataforma) significan algo verdaderamente importante y trascendental:  es  la   primera vez que la  comunidad universitaria del Colegio tuvo la oportunidad de expresarse de esta manera sobre sus preferencias para candidato a  rector. Nuestra misión principal con este proyecto era crear aunque fuese solo un pequeño espacio en donde manifestar  lo que queremos ver en el Colegio; más democracia participativa, más participación directa de la comunidad en la toma de decisiones, más transparencia y más personas informadas. Con este ejercicio hemos cumplido nuestra misión. Muchisimas gracías a todas las personas que sacrificarón su tiempo libre y colaboraron  para poder hacer posible este proyecto. También le agradecemos al grupo de los 5 por inspirarnos a hacer este proyecto y por haber dicho “basta!” y hacer algo por nuestra Universidad. Sin ellos nada de ésto hubiese ocurrido.
P.S. Las personas que participaron del proceso pueden revisar los resultados y ver todos los detalles visitando Selectricity.org y poniendo su “token” de votación.
