Implicit utilitarian voting is a voting mechanism that aims to maximize overall social welfare or utility, based on the preferences of the voters. While traditional voting systems typically focus on explicit votes for specific candidates or policies, implicit utilitarian voting allows voters to express their preferences in a way that reflects the utility or satisfaction they derive from different options. In this system, voters may indicate not just their preferred choice but also the strength of their preference, often through a ranking or a scoring system.
