:: Agreed, and I'm fine with either "system" or "method". My main concern was over "electoral" versus "voting". Sorry for spreading the discussion out in such a confusing way. I've made a few [[w:WP:BOLD|bold]] edits today as I've restructured things a bit, including renaming this article from "Voting system" to "Electoral system". I'll probably say more over at [[Category_talk:Voting_methods]] about other changes I'd like to make, after I remove some of the merge banners. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 01:14, 22 April 2020 (UTC)

::: I'll leave the decision to you guys, but I'd say that "electoral" is a more complex, academic-sounding term than "voting". I think "voting methods" or "voting systems" is a much more approachable, repeatable term for someone who is new to the field.
