The '''Borda count''' BC and the Modified Borda count MBC are two [[voting system]] used mainly for decision-making and in election systems like the [[Quota Borda
The Borda count BC was devised by Nicholas Cusanus in 1433, while the Modified Borda Count MBC was proposed by [[Jean-Charles de Borda]] in June of 1770. It was first published in 1781 as ''Mémoire sur les élections au scrutin'' in the Histoire de l'Académie Royale des Sciences, Paris. This method was devised for decision-making, but mainly for elections, by M. de Borda to fairly elect members to the French Academy of Sciences and was used by the Academy beginning in 1784 until quashed by Napoleon in 1800.
