Line 13:
A voting system may select only one option (usually a candidate, but also an option that represents a decision), in which case it is called a "single winner system", or it may select multiple options, for example candidates to fill an assembly or alternative possible decisions on the measure the ballot posed.
 
Some countries, like [[Israel]], fill their entire parliament using a single multiple-winner district ([[constituency]]), while others, like [[Ireland]] or [[Belgium]], break up their national elections into smaller, multiple-winner districts, and yet others, like the [[United States]] or the [[United Kingdom]], hold only single-winner elections. Some systems, like the [[Additional member system]], embed smaller districts within larger ones.
