AB Positional voting systems are a class of voting systems where voters rankorder the candidates from best to worst and a set of winners is selected using thepositions of the candidates in the voters’ preference orders. Although scoring rulesare the best known positional voting systems, this class includes other voting systemsproposed in the literature as, for example, the Majoritarian Compromise or theq-Approval Fallback Bargaining. In this paper we show that some of these positionalvoting systems can be integrated in a model based on cumulative standings functions.The proposed model allows us to establish a general framework for the analysis ofthese voting systems, to extend to them some results in the literature for the particularcase of the scoring rules, and also facilitates the study of the social choice propertiesconsidered in the paper: monotonicity, Pareto-optimality, immunity to the absolutewinner paradox, Condorcet consistency, immunity to the absolute loser paradox andimmunity to the Condorcet loser paradox.
