Shia jurists have presented several views regarding the validity or invalidity of the majority vote and whether it is binding on everyone. Absolute invalidity, absolute validity, and conditional validity of the majority vote are the viewpoints that Shia jurists have adopted on this matter, and each theorist has substantiated their view by citing rational arguments, verses, and narrations. According to Masoud Emami, a researcher in political jurisprudence, the difference in views regarding the legitimacy or illegitimacy of the majority vote is due to a difference in its foundational basis.
