Majority Judgment has been proposed by Balinski and Laraki as a way to avoid Arrow’s theorem, attenuate strategic voting, and enable voters to better express themselves, as they are asked to give a grade from a predetermined list (e.g., Excellent, Good, Average…) to each candidate, and not a ranking. Initially proposed for the political and competitive domains (e.g. wine tasting, sports judging), it could also be applied to science and expertise.
