Line 51: : I would ask whether the EPOV supports RobLa's request to make "voting method" be used to describe the way people fill out their ballots on election day. Personally, I think the term "voting method" has pretty unambiguously been used by everyone to mean "method of electing representatives". In fact, given the current debate over mail-in balloting during the pandemic, I'd like to create an article discussing exactly the concept that you refer to as "voting method", but I'd strongly prefer to use a different term (such as "balloting method") to name it. [[User:BetterVotingAdvocacy\|BetterVotingAdvocacy]] ([[User talk:BetterVotingAdvocacy\|talk]]) 21:21, 22 April 2020 (UTC) == Electoral systems == Barring compelling objection, I intend to rename this category to "Electoral systems" in June 2020. Comments still welcome at Category_talk:Voting methods, but to we've been discussing this for months, and it's time to align ourselves with Wikipedia's chosen terminology. Additionally, most of the prose from this article will be moved to Electoral system, and the category page will become a much more succinct description of what "electoral systems" are. -- [[User:RobLa\|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa\|talk]]) 02:55, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
