The reverse voter dynamics is studied analytically, showing that on networks with degree distribution decaying as k&\#150;v, the time to reach consensus is linear in the system size N for all v > 2. The consensus time for link-update voter dynamics is computed as well. We verify the results numerically on a class of uncorrelated scale-free graphs. ©2005 American Institute of Physics
