:- '''Independence of Smith-dominated alternatives''' (ISDA), which says that if one option (X) wins an election, and a new alternative (Y) is added, X will win the election if Y is not in the [[Smith set]]. ISDA implies Condorcet, and some Condorcet methods (e.g. [[Schulze method|Schulze]]) satisfies ISDA.

:- '''Independence of covered alternatives''' which says that if one option (X) wins an election, and a new alternative (Y) is added, X will win the election if Y is not in the [[uncovered set]]. Independence of covered alternatives also implies Condorcet. If a method is independent of covered alternatives, then the method fails monotonicity if perfect ties can always be broken in favor of a choice W by using ballots ranking W first.
