The Borda and Condorcet winners coincide for lexicographic preferences

Author

  • Moreno, Bernardo
  • Salmaso, Pietro

Abstract

We show that, for any lexicographic preference profile, the sets of Borda and Condorcet winners coincide. Moreover, the sets of Borda and Condorcet losers also coincide. However the binary relations induced by the Borda Count and the majority pairwise comparisons are not the same.
