Social Choice Theory is a very broad topic, but I will outline some key definitions and results, including the infamous impossibility theorems for multicandidate voting. I'll also discuss some real-world workarounds for these problems, different types of elections that have been studied, and possibly even ideas for moving beyond elections.
