cumulative voting

Read a random definition: spatae placitum

A quick definition of cumulative voting:

Cumulative voting is a way of voting where people can put all their votes together for one candidate. For example, if there are seven seats to be filled, a person can use all seven of their votes for one person. This helps minority groups have a better chance of getting someone they want elected. Some companies and local governments use this type of voting. Some people think it should be used more to help minorities have more representation.

A more thorough explanation:

Cumulative voting is a type of voting where people can combine their votes for certain candidates. This means that if someone has multiple votes, they can use all of them for one candidate in a particular election.

For example, let's say there are seven director seats being voted for in a company. If an executive has seven votes, they can use all of them to vote for one candidate in a single director election. This can help minority groups to have a better chance of getting elected by pooling their votes together.

Many corporations use cumulative voting structures to elect their directors. Some local governments also use this type of voting to elect council and board members, such as education board members.

Some people believe that cumulative voting should be used more in the United States to increase minority representation in elections.
