There are activism movements for the following:
 
* [[Single-member district|Single-winner systems]], such as:
* [[Proportional representation]] systems, and methods which use similar [[Ranked voting systems|ranking systems]], such as "[[Instant-runoff voting]]" (frequently promoted as "Ranked Choice Voting")
** [[Approval voting]] - A simple "choose-many" variation of "choose-one" systems
** [[Condorcet method|Condorcet methods]] - systems which ensure that the "pairwise winner" of voters' aggregate preference rankings wins the election
* [[Score voting]] and [[cardinal voting systems]]
** [[Instant-runoff voting]] (or "IRV"), one of many [[Ranked voting systems|ranking systems]] which is frequently promoted as "[[Ranked Choice Voting]]" (or "RCV")
* [[STAR voting]] - a variation on score voting which treats each voter's preferences as a ranking in the final elimination round of the election
** [[Score voting]] and other [[cardinal voting systems]]
*[[Condorcet method|Condorcet methods]] - systems which ensure that the "pairwise winner" of voters' aggregate preference rankings wins the election
** [[STAR voting]] - a variation on score voting which treats each voter's preferences as a ranking in the final elimination round of the election
* [[Multi-member system]]s, which offer differing degrees of [[proportional representation]] while selecting multiple candidates.
