This paper presents a study on the recently proposed linear inequality representation of Arrovian Social Welfare Functions~(ASWFs). We correct and show several sufficient conditions on preference domains for the linear inequalities of the representation to form integral polytopes. We also show that a given probabilistic ASWF induces a real vector satisfying the inequalities.
