Abstract
This volume collects the invited essays presented in honour of Dan Felsenthal and Moshé Machover. Most of the papers were delivered at the Voting Power in Practice Symposium, Voting Power in Social/Political Institutions: Typology, Measurement, Applications held at the London School of Economics, 20–22 March 2011. The symposium had been planned both to mark the end of 8 years of Leverhulme Trust funding of the LSE’s Voting Power & Procedures (VPP) research programme and to celebrate the immense contribution to the field of voting theory by Felsenthal and Machover’s (F&M) critically acclaimed monograph The Measurement of Voting Power (MVP) published a decade earlier.

This is the case in all the states except Maine and Nebraska, each with three electoral votes, in which one electoral vote is awarded to the candidate receiving the most votes in each of the congressional districts, and the remaining two votes are awarded to the candidate that gets the most votes statewide. Although the possibility of a “split” allocation does exist, it has never actually happened.
