Condorcet criterion

The Condorcet candidate (aka Condorcet winner) is the person who would win a two-candidate election against each of the other candidates using a plurality vote. For a set of candidates, the Condorcet winner is always the same regardless of the voting system in question. A voting system satisfies the Condorcet criterion (English pronunciation: /kɒndɔːrˈseɪ/) if it always chooses the Condorcet winner when one exists. Any voting method conforming to the Condorcet criterion is known as a Condorcet method.
