# Condorcet
|
||||
|
||||
OVERVIEW
|
||||
Condorcet is an election method that selects the candidate, if such a candidate exists, that would win a [majority vote](majority_voting.md) against all other candidates. Ballots may take the form of either a single [preferential vote](preferential_voting.md) or a sequence of runoffs.
|
||||
|
||||
There is not always a "Condorcet winner," and various implementations provide differing methods of determining a winner in such cases.
|
||||
|
||||
**Input:** preferential vote or runoffs
|
||||
|
||||
**Output:** Condorcet winner or circular paradox
|
||||
|
||||
## History
|
||||
|
||||
The Condorcet method takes its name from an early promoter, the 18th-century French mathematician Marie Jean Antoine Nicolas Caritat, who was the Marquis de Condorcet. The method itself was [first described by Ramon Llull](https://www.math.uni-augsburg.de/htdocs/emeriti/pukelsheim/2001a.html) in 1299. A version of it is used in Robert's Rules of Order, first published in 1876.
|
||||
|
||||
Recently, it has attracted the interest of software developers and has been adopted by several prominent Free Software communities and Pirate Party groups.

## Feedback loops
|

|
||||
### Sensitivities
|
||||
|
||||
* Prevents some potential for gaming that is possible in other voting methods
|
||||
|
||||
### Oversights
|
||||
|
||||
* The complexity of the system may lead to confusion
|
||||
|
||||
## Implementations
|
||||
|
||||
### Communities
|

|
||||
* Free Software communities
