Sumario:[EN]In this work we contribute to the formal and computational analys is of the measurement of consensus in a society. We propose a unifying mode l that generates a consistent decision in terms of the individual preferen ces and then measures the consensus that arises from it. We focus our ins pection on two relevant and specific cases: the Borda and the Copeland rule s under a Kemeny-type measure. A computational analysis of these two pr oposals serves us to compare their respective performances.
