Negative vote weight : ウィキペディア英語版 | Negative vote weight Negative vote weight (also known as ''inverse success value'') refers to an effect that occurs in certain elections where votes can have the opposite effect of what the voter intended. A vote for a party might result in the loss of seats in parliament, or the party might gain extra seats by not receiving votes. The effect that a vote for a party might result in the loss of a seat is contrary to the requirement that every vote in a democratic election should have the same weight. It also violates the requirement that the vote may not explicitly run counter to the intention of the voter. ==Germany== The phenomenon of negative vote weight occurred in several past federal elections in Germany, including the election in 2009.〔()〕 The negative vote weight could occur in a state where a party had overhang seats. In such states, in many circumstances a vote for a party will not increase its national seat total (MMP allocations are calculated at the national level in Germany), but may increase the proportion of the party's national seats to be allocated to the state where it already had overhang seats (overhang seats being allocated at the state level). This effectively decreased the party's total seat count, and a voter would have been better served by not voting for that party. However, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany ruled on 3 July 2008 that this was unconstitutional, as a negative vote weight is incompatible with the constitutional guarantee of equality and directness. Accordingly, the election law was changed in February 2013.〔(Bill amending the Federal Election Law ). 11 December 2012. Retrieved 25 December 2012.〕
