Paper develops axiomatic characterization of the family of majority vote rules in the way alternative to characterization of the majority vote given in paper of Kenneth O. May in the 1952. This, similar but different, axiomatics focuses on the consistency of the voting procedure. Both approaches are compared. Relation to famous Kenneth J. Arrow's Impossibility Theorem is also discussed.
