Abstract
In the paper the results of voting by different voting methods are presented and analyzed. Approval voting, disapproval voting, categorization method and classical majority voting are compared using results of a presidential poll conducted over a representative sample. Results differ depending on the voting methods used. However, from the statistical point of view, within the same valuation scope (positive, if voting is constructed so that the vote is “for” the candidate and negative, if the vote is “against”) the order of the candidates remains similar across the methods.
