Line 1:
'''Range voting''', or '''ratings summation''', or '''average votingrating''', or '''cardinal ratings''' is a [[voting system]] used for single-seat elections.
(It couldcan also be used for multi-seat elections, but thatnot iswith aproportional poor idearesults.)

Whig electorate could elect a 100% Whig slate of winners.)
It is also used on the web - for rating movies (Internet Movie Database), comments (Kuro5hin), and many other things - and something very similar to it is used

is the winner.
 
(Another method of counting is to find the [[median]] score of each candidate, and elect the candidate with the highest median score - see [[Median Ratings]].

Using the median is much more complicated than using the average.)
