One of the voting problems in collective choice is a dilemma in which a balance must be struck between individual votes and institutional designs. In the present paper, we approach the dilemma by proposing a variant scaling technique of AHP, AHP', that is valid across MAUT and AHP. The voting dilemma due to abstention of candidates embedded in the rank reversal phenomenon of AHP can be resolved by AHP'. The technique does not require institutional design that may impose additional administrative costs, and thus is feasible in real election situations.
