Abstract
We show that a necessary condition for eligibility of a candidate by the set of de Borda's voting rules in [H. Moulin (1988), Axioms of cooperative decision making] is not sufficient and we obtain a version of the criterion. Let be the score vector of a candidate , be the set of all vectors , and let be the Pareto boundary of the convex hull . Then there is a scoring such that a candidate wins with respect to the de Borda voting rule if and only if .
