The colors of the legend / map of the main image for this article do not correspond: e.g. China is dark brown on map, but listed as black in the legend. 49.237.43.203 ( talk) 08:54, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
article reads thusly: In cases where there are multiple positions to be filled, most commonly in cases of multi-member constituencies, plurality voting is referred to as block voting, multiple non-transferable vote or plurality-at-large. This takes two main forms: in one form voters have as many votes as there are seats and can vote for any candidate, regardless of party – this is used in eight countries. There are variations on this system such as limited voting, where voters are given fewer votes than there are seats to be filled (Gibraltar is the only territory where this system is in use) and single non-transferable vote (SNTV), in which voters can vote for only one candidate in a multi-member constituency, with the candidates receiving the most votes declared the winners; this system is used in Kuwait, the Pitcairn Islands and Vanuatu. In the other main form of block voting, also known as party block voting, voters can only vote for the multiple candidates of a single party, with the party receiving the most votes winning all contested positions. This is used in five countries as part of mixed systems.
But it is not true that in all cases where there are multiple positions to be filled, plurality is used to fill seats, nor that in all cases voters may cast multiple votes. so not all plurality voting is block voting and not all voting to fill multiple positions is block voting.
Block voting is particular form of voting in multimember district (and is same as plurality at large) Limited Voting is also a particular form of voting in multimember district separate from Block voting SNTV is also a particular form of voting in multimember district. each voter cannot cast multiple votes so is not at all a form of Block Voting.
I have tried to make changes in line with these facts but in October 2023 they were reversed without cause. 2604:3D09:887C:7B70:0:0:0:6A17 ( talk) 21:26, 30 October 2023 (UTC)

Standard, four-family classification of voting systems is:
Notably, "majoritarian" is an incorrect name, as it applies only to Condorcet methods. Plurality+IRV do not require a majority of the vote.

We can leave a smaller article behind here. I think splitting this into two separate articles should help us give each family of methods the focus it deserves. –Sincerely, A Lime 19:28, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
