Legislative voting refers to the manner in which legislators decide which bills (proposals) become laws. It is commonly done on the basis of [[majority rule]] with [[abstention]] allowed. See [[agenda]].
One critique of the current legislative voting scheme is that it is "serialized" (votes happen one by one) rather than "parallel" (all proposals are considered and voted on at once, and the best one is chosen). Thus, sometimes [[rated method]]<nowiki/>s or [[Condorcet methods]] are suggested for legislative votes.
