===Consensus criterion===
[[Consensus criteria]] attempt to guarantee the election of consensus candidates. Examples of such criteria include [[greatest possible consensus criterion]] and [[unanimous consensus criterion]].

== Notes ==
Several criteria have rated-ballot or other adaptations that may make more sense in certain contexts. For example, the [[majority criterion]] says that a candidate preferred by a majority over all other candidates must win. The [[Majority criterion for rated ballots]] further requires the majority to give this candidate the highest score. It can be argued that a voter who gives a candidate less than full support doesn't deserve full power, so this modification to the criterion ensures that only a strategic or strongly supportive majority gets their way. Similar adaptations can be made to any criterion involving voter preferences determining who should win, such as [[PSC]], the [[plurality criterion]], [[Mutual majority]], etc.
