The dominance property means that if an alternative X is preferred to alternative Y by every voter, then X must be the winner. The property of transitivity means that if X is preferred to Y and Y is preferred to Z, then X must be preferred to Z. Independence of irrelevant alternatives means that the ranking of alternatives should only depend on the individual preferences between those alternatives, and not on any other alternative that is not being considered. A voting system with these three properties would result in consistent aggregation of individual preferences, meaning that the winner will always be the alternative that is preferred by the majority of voters. This does not violate Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, because it is possible to have a voting system that satisfies these properties as long as other conditions are met.
