Abstract
Liquid democracy is often seen as the middle ground between representative democracy and direct democracy. We will look at ways to model different delegation mechanisms for liquid democracy and devise a way to deal with delegation cycles. The importance of misinformation and the ability of voters influencing each other over time is taken into account, the latter through a process called opinion diffusion. Using this model we examine which delegation mechanisms, if any at all, can result in a better voting outcome compared to a direct democracy.
