Abstract

We investigate the parameterized complexity of strategic behaviors in generalized scoring rules. In particular, we prove that the manipulation, control (all the 22 standard types), and bribery problems are fixed-parameter tractable for many generalized scoring rules, with respect to the number of candidates. Our results imply that all these strategic problems are fixed-parameter tractable for many common voting rules, such as Plurality, r-Approval, Borda, Copeland, Maximin, Bucklin, Ranked pairs, Schulze, etc., with respect to the number of candidates.
