I agree with the observation that [[User:Psephomancy]] made in [https://electowiki.org/w/index.php?title=Category_talk:Voting_methods&diff=prev&oldid=10408 oldid=10408] of [[Category_talk:Voting methods]] (on 16 April 2020 , 20:06). To quote: "''Someone [back in 2017] said "Voting method" and "voting system" both carry a plain English primary meaning of the process of casting a vote, i.e. paper, mechanical or electronic.' which makes sense to me.''" . Here's the 2017 page move discussion that Psephomancy referenced: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Electoral_system/Archive_7#Requested_move_11_February_2017 English Wikipedia February 2017 page move discussion from "Voting system" to "Electoral system"] Given that's where English Wikipedia ended up after a long debate, it seems sensible to follow their lead.-- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 02:05, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

: I'd encourage compromise here in the sense that all of these terms should be allowed throughout the wiki. I can't imagine the Equal Vote Coalition (if I understand their position correctly) will like being unable to use their preferred terminology to describe things, and likewise, in my own writing I'd prefer to keep things more accessible with the term "voting methods".
