Abstract The satisfactory ranking for conditional preference networks (CP-Nets) is a ranking of all outcomes acquired from preferences of decision maker,and its preference relation is incomplete and transitive. The feasibility on aggregation of satisfactory rankings for CP-Nets with traditional voting system is analyzed. The detailed realizations and performance analysis on aggregation of satisfactory rankings with the majority rule and positional voting are individually introduced. So it realizes the promotion and application of voting system from completeness to non-completeness.
