“…These mobilizations are done by producing and airing or publishing political campaign messages to educate and influence voters to act during the elections. The author [2] also observed that, as Nigerians conducted their 2019 general elections, such political communication in various campaign messages was witnessed. He asserts, "Radio, which is one of the most frequent mediums used by campaign organizers and political parties, witnessed such presence of political campaign messages even higher".…”

“…A radio station needs to be independent, free and responsible to the public to create awareness for the citizens to know the problems and issues confronting the state and their possible solutions and consequences [9]. Voting is a political behaviour of choice or preference based on the information available to the voter [2]. The media's plan is always to sway the mass's opinion on a particular issue to achieve a specific result.…”

The study was conducted to determine the extent to which radio political campaign messages influence voters' behaviour during elections. The study also examined the influence of other political campaign techniques used by political parties to influence voters' decisions in their favour. The study determined whether frequent exposure to both pro and against candidates' radio political campaign messages influenced voters' decisions on election day and also investigated the extent of the influence of opinion leaders among voters during elections.The study examined the descriptive survey; the sample population was 400 respondents who were residents in a random sampling technique in Lagos. The instrument used for the data analysis was frequency count and simple percentage. Findings from the study show that radio in Nigeria helps in political participation by motivating citizens to vote and be present for manifesto reading, unbiased in their choice of candidates, etc. It encourages people to attend rallies and be informed about the decisionmaking process, which is very important in the electoral process. In summary, this study sheds light on the impact of radio political campaign messages and other campaign techniques on voters' behaviour during elections. It underscores the importance of radio in promoting political participation, unbiased decision-making, and informed choices among voters. However, caution should be exercised to avoid negative influences such as sentimentalism, ethnic bias, and religious bigotry, which can undermine the integrity of the electoral process and harm society.

“…Moving from an individual decision-maker to a group of them adds complexity to the decision-making process. For this reason, group decision-making models, such as voting-based models [4] or Delphi technique [5] , among others, have been developed. The problem is now longer choosing the appropriate course of action or option among several alternative possibilities by considering an individual' s opinion [6] , but rather the study must be extended to consider the difference of opinion or level of dissatisfaction among several parties [7] .…”

Aim: This study aims to present a multi-criteria group decision-making model with intuitionistic reciprocal preference relations that incorporates a new feedback mechanims adapting its operation to the decision-makers' consistency. Methods: A new adaptive feedback mechanism is developed within a multi-criteria group decision-making model. Assuming different kinds of decision-makers classified according to their consistency, this feedback mechanism customizes the recommendations given by adopting three strategies to identify the problematic assessments that the decision-makers should change if they want to collaborate to increase the consensus. Results: The performance of the proposed model is shown in a case study for the selection of an energy storage technology. It shows that the decision-makers providing assessments with low consistency must modify more assessments, allowing the most consistent decision-makers to be the leaders of the negotiation and persuade the others to adjust their assessments to improve the agreement achieved. Conclusion: In this study, a novel multi-criteria group decision-making model is developed. It includes an adaptive feedback mechanism adjusting the advice provided by considering the decision-makers' consistency. It allows that the assessments of the most consistent decision-makers never be strongly modified during the decision process.

The mathematical theory of ranked-choice voting is reviewed, with particular focus on Condorcet, Plurality, and Borda Count methods. Maximizing the Borda Count score is shown to be equivalent to minimizing the weighted arithmetic mean across ranks. This leads to alternate Borda methods associated with different weighted means: geometric; harmonic; and root-mean-square. The notion of an ergodic voter population is introduced, together with a statistical confidence interval approach to estimating requisite population size, which is essential to avoid small-population noise. Population size and voting method consistency are further examined via simulation where it is shown that principal voting methods, other than Plurality, converge for a sufficiently large, ergodic voter population. This again highlights pitfalls associated with small voter populations, in terms of both voting method consistency and elicitation of overall voter/social preference.
