Palawan 3 4 1 5 3 2 3 4 1 2
Baguio 2 1 4 4 2 3 1 5 4 3
Batanes 4 3 3 2 4 1 5 3 2 4
Cebu
5 5 2 3 5 4 2 1 3 5

 The rank 1st votes is shown below:

Baguio 1 1
Batanes 1
Cebu

 Votes
Boracay 4
Palawan 2
Baguio 2
Batanes 1
Cebu 1

 Boracay won the 1st rank.

b. Borda Count
Ranking

Palawan 3 4 1 5 3 2 3 4 1 2
Baguio 2 1 4 4 2 3 1 5 4 3
Batanes 4 3 3 2 4 1 5 3 2 4
Cebu
5 5 2 3 5 4 2 1 3 5

Solution. Since there are 5 choices, rank 1 will be given 5 points, rank 2 will be equal to 4 points,
3 points for rank 3, 2 points for rank 4, and 1point for rank 5.

Boracay: 4–Rank 1–(4 x 5)= 20

2 – Rank 2 – (2 x 4)= 8
0 – Rank 3 – (0 x 3)= 0
1 – Rank 4 – (1 x 2)= 2
3 – Rank 5 – (3 x 1)= 3
Total 33 points

Palawan: 2 – Rank 1 –(2 x 5)= 10

2 – Rank 2 – (2 x 4)= 8
3 – Rank 3 – (3 x 3)= 9
2 – Rank 4 – (2 x 2)= 4
1 – Rank 5 –(1 x 1)= 1
Total 32 points
 Baguio: 2– Rank 1 –(2 x 5)=10
2 – Rank 2 –(2 x 4)= 8
2 – Rank 3 – (2 x 3)= 6
3 – Rank 4 – (3 x 2)= 6
1 – Rank 5 – (1 x 1)= 1
Total 31 points

Batanes: 1– Rank 1–(1 x 5)=5

2– Rank 2–(2 x 4)= 8
3– Rank 3 –(3 x 3)= 9
3– Rank 4 –(3 x 2)= 6
1– Rank 5 –(1 x 1)= 1
Total 29 points

Cebu: 1–Rank 1 –(1 x 5)= 5

2– Rank 2 –(2 x 4)= 8
2– Rank 3 –(2 x 3)= 6
1– Rank 4 –(1 x 2)= 2
4– Rank 5 –(4 x 1)= 4
Total 25 points

 Using Borda count method of voting, Boracay rank 1st (the same rank in plurality
method of voting).

c. Plurality with Elimination

Ranking

Palawan 3 4 1 5 3 2 3 4 1 2
Baguio 2 1 4 4 2 3 1 5 4 3
Batanes 4 3 3 2 4 1 5 3 2 4
Cebu
5 5 2 3 5 4 2 1 3 5

 Eliminate first the one with fewest rank 1 votes. If two or more have the same these
alternatives have the same number of rank 1 votes, then all

Palawan 3 4 1 5 3 2 3 4 1 2
Baguio 2 1 4 4 2 3 1 5 4 3

New preference schedule

Ranking
Boracay 1 2 3 1 1 3 3 1 3 1
Palawan 3 3 1 3 3 2 2 2 1 2
