2.4 Collective decisions (3)

In voting, everyone expresses their will/opinion (in the form of a vote), which means that voting produces certainty regarding the distribution of preferences. The decision rule is applied to this distribution to determine the collective decision.

For example, in the case of a simple majority vote, the option with the most votes becomes the collective decision.

There are many different methods of selecting using a vote - we discuss some of them in this course.
