In educational settings, it is becoming common for members of groups to be forced to choose among more than two candidates, programs, or objectives. When no majority favors any one of three or more alternative choices, there are several rational, although arbitrary, ways to proceed. The first attempt at making the choice ought to adopt the Condorcet Principle; that is, to vote on paired-comparisons with the loser in each of the sequential paired votings leaving the contest. If no majority winner emerges, then the Borda rule should be followed; with this technique, all voters assign weights to all of their choices in order of their preferences. Although this two-step procedure has some weaknesses, it is the best procedure available for finding the most acceptable choice. (Author/JM)
