A voting system is presented that is based on an iterative procedure that converges to a unique fixed point. The votes are casted by m raters regarding the reputation of n items, are organized as a m x n voting matrix X, which is possibly sparse when each rater does not evaluate all items. From this matrix X , a unique rating of the considered items is finally obtained via an iterative procedure which updates the reputations of the n items as well as that of the m raters. For any rating matrix the proposed method converges linearly to the unique vector of reputations. Sorne applications of this voting system will be presented.
