Minority Representation Voting Partial Voting System

Definition

The limited voting system is an electoral method where voters have fewer votes than the number of available seats, allowing for the possibility of minority representation. This system is designed to prevent any single group from winning all the seats and is often used to promote more diverse representation.

Examples

  • Alabama State Board of Education Elections: Limited voting used to ensure minority representation
  • Gibraltar's Parliamentary Elections: Voters have ten votes for seventeen seats
  • Spain's Senate Elections: Voters have two or three votes for four seats in each province
