Hallo,

on 1 January 2016, the French regions Midi-Pyrenees
and Languedoc-Roussillon have been united to form
a new region. Between 9 May and 10 June 2016, there
was a referendum on the new name for this region.
The voters could choose between five alternatives:

  • Languedoc
  • Languedoc-Pyrenees
  • Occitanie
  • Occitanie-Pays Catalan
  • Pyrenees-Mediterranee

The voters could rank these alternatives in order of
preference. And Condorcet voting was used to determine
the winner.

Here is the final result:

There have been 203,993 valid ballots.

Occitanie : Occitanie-Pays Catalan = 75% : 25%
Occitanie : Languedoc = 69% : 31%
Occitanie : Pyrenees-Mediterranee = 62% : 38%
Occitanie : Languedoc-Pyrenees = 58% : 42%
Languedoc : Occitanie-Pays Catalan = 50% : 50%
Languedoc-Pyrenees : Languedoc = 71% : 29%
Languedoc-Pyrenees : Occitanie-Pays Catalan = 64% : 36%
Languedoc-Pyrenees : Pyrenees-Mediterranee = 57% : 43%
Pyrenees-Mediterranee : Languedoc = 60% : 40%
Pyrenees-Mediterranee : Occitanie-Pays Catalan = 59% : 41%

Therefore, Occitanie is a Condorcet winner.

To the best of my knowledge, this was the largest
Condorcet poll ever.
