Abstract
Simple majority is one of the most used decision rules in practice However under this decision rule an alternative can defeat another one with very poor support For this reason other decision rules have been considered in the literature such as qualified and special majorities as well as other majorities based on difference of votes In this paper we generalize the latter mentioned voting systems by considering individual intensities of preference and we provide some axiomatic characterizations
