aggregation of preferences

Aggregation of preferences is the process of combining individual choices or opinions into a single, overall group preference. It’s a way to reflect the collective desires or priorities of many people—for example, in voting or decision-making—so that the outcome represents the group’s collective preference rather than just one individual’s. This method helps in making fair and democratic decisions, ensuring that diverse opinions are considered and balanced to reach an outcome that best reflects the group's overall consensus.
