IMD Affiliate-Organized Workshop Recap: “Mathematics of Elections, Fairness, and Representation” at the Banff International Research Station

IMD affiliates David McCune (William Jewell College), Jeanne Clelland (University of Colorado Boulder), Natasa Dragovic (University of Saint Thomas), and Ismar Volić (Wellesley College) co-organized the Mathematics of Elections, Fairness, and Representation workshop from March 29 to April 3, 2026 at the Banff International Research Station.

The workshop included over 40 participants (many of them IMD affiliates) and featured thirteen talks in voting, districting, proportional representation, and other topics. Time was also set aside for collaborative work in small groups and development of new research projects.

IMD is grateful to all who shared their expertise and participated in making the workshop a success!
