Different voting systems have different forms for allowing the individual to express their [[tolerances versus preferences|tolerances or preferences]]. In [[ranked ballot]] or "preference" voting systems, like [[instant-runoff voting]], the [[Borda count]], the Modified Borda count MBC or a [[Condorcet method]], voters order the list of options from most to least preferred. In [[range voting]], voters rate each option separately. In [[first-past-the-post]] (also known as plurality voting), voters select only one option, while in [[approval voting]], they can select as many as they want. In voting systems that allow [[plumping]], like [[cumulative voting]], voters may vote for the same candidate multiple times.

Line 68:
 
* The voting system should always give a result
*If a voter improves the ranking of a particular option, that option should not be disadvantaged ([[monotonicity criterion]])
*Removing a candidate should not change the winner of an election unless that candidate is the winner ([[independence of irrelevant alternatives]])
*Every possible outcome should be achievable
*Non-dictatorship (i.e. more than one person's vote matters)

****Dodgson-Hare [https://jamesgreenarmytage.com/dodgson.pdf] Under some assumptions very resistant to strategies
***[[Bucklin voting]]: approval with virtual runoff; each voters' ballot is counted for more candidates each round until some candidate reaches a majority
*[[Cardinal Voting]]: voting A valid vote allows independent numerical values to be associated with each candidate. (The set of valid values is limited. So it's usually voting on a scale of, say, 0 to 5)
