Abstract: In this paper a model for the aggregation of ballot profiles is considered. In this framework some new results are obtained: the characterization of oligarchic aggregators, the characterization of the plurality aggregator and the non existence of a vote aggregator which is anonymous and yet preserves proximity. In the context of there being precisely two candidates from which voters are required to choose from we provide axiomatic characterizations of the majority vote aggregator and the two single valued selections from it.
