Line 1:
The '''Mutual majority criterion''' is a criterion for evaluating [[voting system]]s. It applies to [[ranked ballot]] elections. It can be stated as follows:
 
:''{{definition|If there is a majority of voters for which it is true that they all rank a set of candidates above all others, then one of these candidates must win.''}}
 
[Merge: The mutual majority criterion says that if a majority of voters unanimously vote a given set of candidates above a given rating or ranking, and all other candidates below that rating or ranking, then the winner must be from that set.]
 
This is often called '''Majority criterion for solid coalitions''' or simply '''Majority criterion'''.
