Abstract

The Plurality rule for linear orders selects the alternatives most frequently appearing in the first position of those orders, while the Anti- Plurality rule selects the alternatives least often occurring in the final position. We explore extensions of these rules to partial orders, offering axiomatic characterisations for these extensions.
