• Each DM gives n-1 points to the most preferred alternative, n-2 points to the second most preferred, …, and 0 points to the least preferred alternative.

• The alternative with the highest total number of points is the winner.

• An example: 3 alternatives, 9 voters

4 states that A > B > C

3 states that B > C > A

2 states that C > B > A

A : 4·2 + 3·0 + 2·0 = 8 votes

B : 4·1 + 3·2 + 2·1 = 12 votes

C : 4·0 + 3·1 + 2·2 = 7 votes
