Abstract: We show that a preference domain is single-crossing and maximal Condorcet if and only if it can be represented as a relay, a structure that is simple to construct and verify. Using this characterization, we find that there are at most two domains that are single-crossing and maximal Condorcet, and we also find another characterization of such domains in terms of inversion triples.
