Abstract

This paper is an invitation to study the problem of measuring distances between elections, for the case where both the particular names of the candidates and the voters are irrelevant. In other words, we say that two elections are at distance zero (or, that they are isomorphic) if it is possible to make them identical by renaming their candidates and voters, and we are interested in measuring how far are two given elections from being isomorphic. The study of such distances has just begun and in this paper we outline why we believe that it is interesting and what are the natural research directions.
