'''Vote Unitarity''' is the concept of the [[Equally Weighted Vote]] or [[One-Person-One-Vote]] as applied to multi-winner election methods. Vote Unitarity ensures that each person should have one vote and that vote should not change in power during the rounds of tabulation in any system. More mathematically, it is the condition that the time evolution of the vote according to the tabulation procedure is mathematically represented only by [[W : Unitary transformation |Unitary Transformations]]. This means that ballot weight can be split between winners but never created or destroyed during the voting systems calculation of winners.
