: I thought it was "voting methods" that he liked, because "systems" includes electronic vs paper ballots, etc.? — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 02:56, 14 April 2020 (UTC)
:: That could be. My main recollection was the push for "voting __" rather than "election __" or "electoral __". I prefer using "election __" or "electoral __", and that seems to be what Wikipedia has settled on. -- [[User:RobLa|RobLa]] ([[User talk:RobLa|talk]]) 06:34, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
::: Looking at this mess: [[w:Talk:Electoral_system/Archive_7#Requested_move_11_February_2017]] [[w:Talk:Electoral_system/Archive_8#Oh_no,_not_again]] and the beginning of [https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/D6trAzh6DApKPhbv4/a-voting-theory-primer-for-rationalists]
::: Homunq is in favor of "method" and against "system", and said 'As to "voting", "election", or "electoral", I'm agnostic'.
::: Someone else 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. — [[User:Psephomancy|Psephomancy]] ([[User talk:Psephomancy|talk]]) 20:05, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
