Line 34:
=== Weaker forms of the criterion ===
The [[informed majority coalition criterion]] is a weaker form of the majority criterion that only requires that a majority be able to force their first choice to win by coordinating and voting strategically. Most [[rated method]]s pass this criterion.
Note that it is not always the case that the majority will have the ability to safely vote strategically if they're unsure how the other voters are going to vote, or they don't agree on a common best candidate.
==== Majority criterion for rated ballots ====
There are some Cardinal systems which are designed to fulfil Majoritarianism not Utilitarianism. The majority criterion for rated ballots is a weaker, separate criterion which says that a candidate given a perfect (maximal) rating by a majority of voters must win if no other candidate received a perfect rating from that majority.
