· 4 pulledThe Condorcet or majority-rule methods are a family of election systems that elect the majority-preferred (Condorcet) winner if one exists.
A majority-preferred candidate is a candidate who would win a majority of votes in any head-to-head election against any opponent.
In other words, they are a candidate who would win in any one-on-one race (one without spoilers).
The head-to-head elections need not be done separately; a voter's choice within any given pair can be determined from the ranking.
