Definite Majority Choice: Difference between revisions

# Definitively defeated candidates.

# Candidates that pairwise defeat all higher-approved candidates. We call this group the '''definite majority set'''.

 

If there is a candidate who, when compared in turn with each of the others, is preferred over the other candidate, DMC guarantees that candidate will win. Because of this property, DMC is (by definition) a '''[[Condorcet method]]'''. Note that this is different from some other preference voting systems such as [[Borda count|Borda]] and [[Instant-runoff voting]], which do not make this guarantee.
