:The Definite Majority Choice winner is the ''least-approved'' candidate who, when compared in turn with each of the other ''higher-approved'' candidates, is preferred over the other candidate.
 
The main difference between DMC and Condorcet methods such as [[Ranked Pairs]] (RP), [[Cloneproof Schwartz Sequential Dropping]] (Beatpath or Schulze) and [[River]] is the use of the additional Approval score to break cyclic ambiguities. If defeat strength is measured by the Total Approval score of the pairwise winner, all three other methods become equivalent to DMC (See [http://lists.electorama.com/pipermail/election-methods-electorama.com/2005-March/015405.html proof]). Therefore,
DMC has other useful properties:
* DMC is a strong majority rule method.
* When defeat strength is measured by the approval of the defeating candidate, DMC is the only one possible immune ([[Condorcet_method#Key_terms_in_ambiguity_resolution|cloneproof]]) method.
