AbstractWe investigate under what conditions a given set of collective judgments can arise from a specific voting procedure. In order to answer this question, we introduce a language similar to modal logic for reasoning about judgment aggregation procedures. In this language, the formula
$$square varphi$$ expresses that$$varphi$$ is collectively accepted, or that$$varphi$$ is a group judgment based on voting. Different judgment aggregation procedures may be underlying the group decision making. Here we investigate majority voting, where$$square varphi$$ holds if a majority of individuals accepts$$varphi$$, consensus voting, where$$square varphi$$ holds if all individuals accept$$varphi$$, and dictatorship. We provide complete axiomatizations for judgment sets arising from all three aggregation procedures.
