| rdfs:comment | - A voting system refers to the people, processes, and technology associated with any specific method of casting and counting votes.
- Voting Systems include:
* Additional Member System (AMS)
* Approval Voting
* Alternative Vote (AV)
* Borda Count
* Cumulative Voting
* D'Hondt Method
* First Past the Post(FPP)
* Range Voting
* Runoff voting (RV)
* Sainte-Laguë Method
* Single Non-transferable Vote(SNTV)
* Single Transferable Vote (STV)
* Supplementary Vote (SV)
- A voting system contains rules for valid voting, and how votes are aggregated to yield a final result. The study of formally defined voting systems is called voting theory, a subfield of political science, economics or mathematics. Voting theory began formally in the 18th century and many proposals for voting systems have been made. Further information: effects of different voting systems under similar circumstances

| abstract | - A voting system refers to the people, processes, and technology associated with any specific method of casting and counting votes.
- A voting system contains rules for valid voting, and how votes are aggregated to yield a final result. The study of formally defined voting systems is called voting theory, a subfield of political science, economics or mathematics. Voting theory began formally in the 18th century and many proposals for voting systems have been made. Voting systems are either majority rule, proportional representation or plurality voting. Given the simplicity of majority rule, those who are unfamiliar with voting theory are often surprised that another voting system exists, or that "majority rule" systems can produce results not supported by a majority. If every election had only two choices, the winner would be determined using majority rule alone. However, when there are three or more options, there may not be a single option that is preferred by a majority. Different voting systems may give very different results, particularly in cases where there is no clear majority preference.
