AES Notebook Limited VoteThe
Limited Vote (LV) is one of the more rare systems in use today, but it has
some advocates due to the way in which it facilitates the election of
strong minority candidates and allows for a 'personal' vote for individual
candidates. In essence, LV falls between SNTV and the Block Vote, as there
are multi-member districts, and winning candidates are simply those who
poll most votes. Voters have fewer votes than there are seats to be
filled, but more than one vote. In
practice this system is only used in Gibraltar, for lower house elections,
in Spain for the upper house of the Spanish Cortes, and in local
government elections, primarily in the United States. The LV most often
gives voters one fewer vote than there are seats to be filled, as is the
case in Spain, and as was the case in the United Kingdom between 1867 and
1885. |
