Condorcet Award

The Condorcet Award is a concept in voting systems where a candidate is chosen if they would win in head-to-head competitions against every other candidate. In other words, if you compare this candidate directly with each of the others, they would come out on top every time. It’s a way to identify a candidate who has broad, consistent support across the voting population, representing a truly preferred choice by a majority in pairwise comparisons. The Condorcet Award highlights widespread approval, emphasizing the candidate’s overall strength in direct comparisons rather than just overall voting totals.
