The Condorcet Principle for Multiwinner Elections:
From Shortlisting to Proportionality
Abstract
We study two notions of stability in multiwinner
elections that are based on the Condorcet criterion.
The first notion was introduced by Gehrlein and is
majoritarian in spirit. The second one, local stability, is introduced in this paper, and focuses on
voter representation. The goal of this paper is to
explore these two notions, their implications on restricted domains, and the computational complexity of rules that are consistent with them
