The aim of this paper is to present aggregation methods of individual preferences scores by means of distance measures. Three groups of distance measures are discussed: measures  which use preference distributions for all pairs of objects (e.g. Kemeny’s measure, Bogart’s measure), distance measures based on ranking data (e.g. Spearman distance, Podani distance) and distance measures using permissible transformations to ordinal scale (GDM2 distance). Adequate distance formulas are presented and the aggregation of individual preference by using separate distance measures was carried out with the use of the R program.
