Abstract

A survey using data representative of the French electorate, carried out as part of the 2022 Voter Autrement operation, enables us to imagine what the outcome of the French presidential election would have been if the voting system had been different. A second survey, this time in situ and non-representative, comes to the same conclusion: the winner would have been the same, whether the voting method was the current one, approval voting, evaluation voting or majority judgment. Beyond this, our analyses lead to two new results. Firstly, our representative data show that the ranking of candidates remains fairly stable between the official vote and two of the multi-nominal votes tested. This convergence, which clearly breaks with the results usually observed in this type of experiment conducted in France since 2002, testifies to the evolution of French voters' perception of the candidates. On the other hand, we highlight the risk of strong discontinuities in the electoral results calculated with majority judgment.
