Abstract

In a ballot, candidate A scores a votes and candidate B scores b votes. Suppose the ballots are drawn out one at a time, and denote αr and βr the number of votes registered for A and B, respectively, among the first r votes recorded. Further, let Δ a,b be the number of subscripts r satisfying the strict lead condition , let be the number of subscripts r satisfying the weak lead condition ; and suppose all possible () voting records are equally probable. The probability distributions of the number of strict and weak lead positions corresponding to and , respectively, have been determined in [4] for a≧b.
