** [[Condorcet method|Condorcet methods]] – systems which favor candidates who defeat all other candidates in pairwise comparisons
** [[Instant-runoff voting|Instant runoff voting]] – one of many [[Ranked voting systems|ranking systems]] promoted under the name of "[[Ranked Choice Voting]]" (or "RCV")
** [[Score voting]] – a system where voters can rate each candidate on a numerical scale
** [[STAR voting]] – a variant of score with a majority-rule runoff at the end
* [[Multi-member system]]s, which offer differing degrees of [[proportional representation]] while selecting multiple candidates.

* [[:Category:Voting system criteria|'''Criteria''']] – how can we know whether a method behaves the way we want it to?

*This wiki was created as a home for more detailed information about less-notable methods and articles that are still under development (for Wikipedia and elsewhere) .
*electowiki currently has {{NUMBEROFARTICLES}} articles in the main collection, as well as many other policy pages, talk pages, and user pages.
*electowiki.org (hosted by [[meta:Miraheze|Miraheze]]) was started in 2018, with content copied over from the old [[Electorama wiki]] site in late 2018
