Line 9:
* '''Bloc Score Voting''': Each voter scores all the candidates on a scale with three or more units. Starting the scale at zero is preferable. Add all the scores. Elect the candidates with the highest total score until all positions are filled.
* '''Bloc STAR Voting''': Each voter scores all the candidates on a scale from 0-5. All the scores are added and the two highest scoring candidates advance to an automatic runoff. The finalist who was preferred by (scored higher by) more voters wins the first seat. The next two highest scoring candidates then runoff, with the finalist preferred by more voters winning the next seat. This process continues until all positions are filled.
*'''[[Cumulative voting | Cumulative Voting]]:''' In this system, a voter facing multiple choices is given X number of ''points''. The voter can then assign his points to one or more of the choices, thus enabling one to weight one's vote if desired. This could be achieved through a normalized [[Ratings ballot|ratings ballot]], or through multiple [[Plurality ballot|plurality ballots]], one per each point allocated. Typically, each voter will have as many votes as there are winners to be selected.
*'''[[Single non-transferable vote]]''': Each voter casts one vote for one candidate in a multi-candidate race for multiple offices
In Bloc [[first past the post | Plurality]] bloc voting, each voter places ''n'' Xs on the ballot paper, where ''n'' is the number of candidates to be elected. The ''n'' candidates with the highest number of votes are elected.
