| The Increasing Committee Size Paradox is a voting inconsistency that occurs under voting systems where voters cast exactly k votes when there are k seats to fill. This paradox occurs when, given an elected committee of size k, one of its member could not be elected if we were to elect a committee of size k + 1; even worse, the two committees may be disjoint. For three-candidate elections, we compute the likelihood of this paradox under the Impartial Anonymous Culture. |
