Concept information

Preferred term

majority cycle  

Definition(s)

  • A majority cycle is a majority voting system's bias leading to a circular result, namely, every alternative loses to at least one other alternative. From both rational and ethical perspectives, majority cycles are undesirable because they undermine the principle of transitivity and are unsuitable for reaching consistent decisions. [Source: Encyclopedia of Governance; Majority Cycle]
