View source for Electoral systems of the world

<!-- Entonces bichos, this how it's gonna be: The table is set up this way to make it easier for yizzall to add your own shit, whether tacking your country/province/hwaetever onto an existing entry or adding a new entry for whatever schizo local conch-shell divination voting system you use. 

It is also set up this way to best accommodate mixed systems (e.g. half the seats in the Sugondese Grand Circlejerk are elected FPTP and half by at-large party-list proportional).

Check Wikipedia to see if your special snowflake system exists IRL first and then hit that mf link button. Thanks.-->

An '''electoral system''' or '''voting system''' is a set of rules that determine how {{wp|elections}} and {{wp|referenda}} are conducted and how their results are determined. Electoral systems are used in politics to elect governments, while non-political elections may take place in [[List of companies by industry|business]], non-profit organisations and informal organisations. These rules govern all aspects of the voting process: when elections occur, who is allowed to vote, who can stand as a candidate, how ballots are marked and cast, how the ballots are counted, how votes translate into the election outcome, limits on campaign spending, and other factors that can affect the result. Political electoral systems are defined by constitutions and electoral laws, are typically conducted by election commissions, and can use multiple types of elections for different offices.

Some electoral systems elect a single winner to a unique position, such as prime minister, president or governor, while others elect multiple winners, such as members of parliament or boards of directors. When electing a legislature, areas may be divided into constituencies with one or more representatives. Voters may vote directly for individual candidates or for a list of candidates put forward by a political party or alliance. There are many variations in electoral systems, with the most common systems being {{wp|first-past-the-post voting}}, {{wp|block voting}}, the {{wp|two-round (runoff) system}}, {{wp|proportional representation}} and {{wp|ranked voting}}. Some electoral systems, such as mixed systems, attempt to combine the benefits of non-proportional and proportional systems.
