  We characterize the class of committee scoring rules that satisfy the
fixed-majority criterion. In some sense, the committee scoring rules in this
class are multiwinner analogues of the single-winner Plurality rule, which is
uniquely characterized as the only single-winner scoring rule that satisfies
the simple majority criterion. We define top-$k$-counting committee scoring
rules and show that the fixed majority consistent rules are a subclass of the
top-$k$-counting rules. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a
top-$k$-counting rule to satisfy the fixed-majority criterion. We find that,
for most of the rules in our new class, the complexity of winner determination
is high (that is, the problem of computing the winners is NP-hard), but we also
show examples of rules with polynomial-time winner determination procedures.
For some of the computationally hard rules, we provide either exact FPT
algorithms or approximate polynomial-time algorithms.
