Vote Unitarity is a property sequential [[Multi-Member System]] designed to ensure that voters do not get more influence that would be expected in a single member system.
==Creation==
Since [[Single Transferable Vote]] allocates voters it obeys vote unitarity. [[Reweighted Range Voting]] on the other hand only reduces influence fractionally so a voter who got a candidate they gave max score in the first round they ballot weight is reduced to 1/2. This violates the principle of one person one vote since this person would essentially be allowed to vote with half weight in later rounds. Proponents of [[Single Transferable Vote]] would use this argument for its superior fairness over [[Reweighted Range Voting]]. [[Keith Edmonds]] wanted to design a score reweighting system which was not simple allocation but also preserved the amount of score used through sequential rounds. He was also unhappy with [Allocation systems | [Allocated Score]] since somebody who only gave a score of 1 to the winner could lose all future influence. [[Single Transferable Vote]] is essentially an allocation system so it also has this failing.
