Electoral system: Difference between revisions

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.
