Exact analysis of Dodgson elections: Lewis Carroll's 1876 voting system is complete for parallel access to NP

TL;DR: It follows that determining the winner in Carroll's elections is not NP-complete unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses, and the stronger lower bound and upper bound are provided that matches the lower bound.

The complexity of Kemeny elections

TL;DR: A stronger lower bound and an upper bound matching the lower bound are provided that determining the winner in Kemeny's system is complete for P||NP, the class of sets solvable via parallel access to NP.

The polynomial-time hierarchy☆

TL;DR: The problem of deciding validity in the theory of equality is shown to be complete in polynomial-space, and close upper and lower bounds on the space complexity of this problem are established.
