A '''solid coalition''' is a group of voters who prefer a set of candidates to everybody else. The term is also sometimes used for the set itself. It was first defined by [[Douglas Woodall]] in the context of his [[Descending Solid Coalitions]] method, and is also used in certain measures of proportionality, such as the [[Proportionality for Solid Coalitions|proportionality for solid coalitions]] criterion. In single-winner elections, the equivalent of the PSC criterion is the [[mutual majority criterion]], which says that any solid coalition with a majority of votes must be entitled to win the seat.
A '''solid coalition''' is the opposite of a mercurial coalition.<ref>https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.06739</ref>
