The voting paradox results in voting outcomes that are inconsistent and the collective preferences of voters are not transitive. This means that the outcome of the election may be different depending on the order in which the preferences of voters are considered, leading to a paradoxical situation where there is no clear winner. This can undermine the legitimacy of the democratic process and make it difficult to implement policies that reflect the preferences of the majority of voters.
