Are any methods immune to strategic voting?

0

In other words, are there any methods in which a voters sincere vote is always equal to the best possible sophisticated vote. There are. For example Random Ballot. In this method, one ballot is drawn at random, and the voters first preference decides the election. This method is obviously highly random. Of course, a vote that didn’t actually decide the result would also not give any reason for strategic voting. But I just invented a voting method that has no random component but which is also strategy free. Sorry, but you didn’t. It isn’t just that no one has thought of such a method; it has been proven mathematically to be impossible.
