Given a natural \(n\), a rhombus tiling is a subdivision of a zonogon (according to the Minkowski sum for \(n\) line segments) into parallelograms (rhombuses, for short). In this paper, the authors deal with the problem of aggregation of rhombus tilings with the help of a certain natural majority rule. Studies of Condorcet domains were initiated by \textit{K. J. Arrow} [Social choice and individual values. New York, NY: Wiley; London: Chapman \& Hall (1951; Zbl 0984.91513)], \textit{D. Black} [``On the rationale of group decision-making'', J. Polit. Econ. 56, 23--34 (1948)] and \textit{A. K. Sen} [Econometrica 34, 491--499 (1966; Zbl 0149.17003)]. Recently an interest to this area was renewed (by the present authors and some other mathematicians). The authors introduce the idea of Condorcet super-domain and normal super-domain accompanied by a very interesting example. They present some new and positive results in this area (within two particular cases).
