Given the weighted system {19: 13, 12, 4, 3, 1}, work on the following
a) Identify the type of weighted voting system it represents
 It is a veto power system.
b) Find all the winning coalitions
Winning Coalitions Total Votes
AB 25
ABC 29
ABD 28
ABE 23
ACD 26
BCD 19
ABCD 32
ABCE 30
ABDE 29
ACDE 21
BCDE 20
ABCDE 33

c) Find the critical voters

Winning Coalitions Total Votes Critical Votes
AB 25 A,B
ABC 29 A,B
ABD 28 A,B
 ABE 26 A,B
ACD 20 A,C,D
BCD 19 B,C,D
ABCD 32 NONE
ABCE 30 A
ABDE 29 A,B
ACDE 21 A,C
BCDE 20 B,C,D
ABCDE 33 NONE

d) Compute the Banzhaf Power Index for each of the voter

the number of ×a voter becomes a critical vote r
Banzhaf Power Index (BPI) =
the total number of critical voters∈all winning coalitions
Voter # of times a voter becomes a critical
voter
A 8
B 7
C 4
D 3
E 0

Total Number of Critical Voters in all Winning Coalitions = 8 + 7 +4 +3 + 0 = 22

8
B.P.I of A = =0.3636 ≈ 0.36
22
7
B.P.I of B = =0.3183 ≈ 0.32
22
4
B.P.I of C = =0.1818 ≈ 0.18
22
 3
B.P.I of D = =0.1361≈ 0.14
22
0
B.P.I of E = =0
22
Therefore, voter A has the most power in the voting system and voter E has the least power.
e) Identify any dictator or dummies in the system
A Veto Power
B Veto Power
C None
D None
E Dummy
