What is another word for cumulative vote?
Pronunciation: [kjˈuːmjʊlətˌɪv vˈə͡ʊt] (IPA) 
Cumulative vote is a voting system used in some jurisdictions where voters have a number of votes, which they can use in any way they desire. However, when a single candidate receives multiple votes from an individual voter, those votes are added together, or "cumulated," in order to give that candidate a greater chance of winning. Synonyms for cumulative vote include "weighted voting" or "bucket voting," as each voter is essentially placing votes into a "bucket" for certain candidates. Other synonyms include "limited voting" or "preference voting," as voters have the option of showing preference for certain candidates by giving them more votes. Overall, cumulative vote systems provide a unique way for voters to have an impact on election outcomes.
