The positions are awarded to the candidates who receive the most votes.

Example of limited voting The town of Voterville makes up an electoral district. It elects three representatives to the legislature. The voter has only two votes.

Each vote counts as one towards the total for the candidate voted for. Practice and issues Limited Voting frequently enables minority groupings to gain representation – unlike first past the post or bloc voting systems. For e ...
