Voting is the main method by which democratic societies make decisions. There are several criteria for fair voting methods, including treating all voters and candidates equally and avoiding dictatorship. Common voting methods include majority rule, plurality, Condorcet, Hare system, and Borda count. Majority rule requires a candidate to receive over 50% of first-place votes. Plurality selects the candidate with the most first-place votes, even without a majority.
