The board of directors is the first line of defense for shareholders. As agents for investors, directors have a responsibility to make decisions in the company's best interest. That's why CII pays close attention to how directors are elected and removed. CII advocates for director elections that carry real consequences.
For many decades, nearly all directors who stood for election unopposed won their seat upon receiving a single favorable vote, and thousands of companies continue to operate under this standard. It is used to elect multiple representatives from a multi-member electoral district. Preferential block voting should be distinguished from a single transferable vote system because preferential block voting is not used to create proportional representation.
Preferential block voting uses ranked ballots to elect representatives. Ballots can be used and issued in two ways. The first being a simple ranking from most to least preferred. The second is a hybrid ballot where the voter selects the candidates for the positions available and then lists out their ranking for the following candidates.
Candidates are then eliminated following an instant-runoff elimination process. This continues until the set number of candidates are elected for the electoral district. Limited voting is a voting method where voters have less votes than the positions available.
The winners are chosen by the absolute most votes. For example: A town must elect four representatives for a local legislature, but the voter can only vote for two options. The advantage of a limited vote system is that it usually lets minority groups have a position in a legislative body. With block voting and first past the post, the party with majority would take all of the positions.
Limited vote would make it easier for a minority group to take one position. If voters are allowed to vote for only one candidate but there are more than two positions to be filled, it is called single non-transferable voting. Supplementary vote is a single winner majority system. It is also called contingent voting.
This voting method is identical to instant-runoff voting except that supplementary voting only has two rounds of elimination to determine the winner.
Instant-runoff can have unlimited elimination rounds where votes are transferred to the voters next choice until a winner is declared. A two-round voting system is a majority voting system used to elect a single winner. Two-round voting has also been called second ballot, runoff voting, and ballotage.
Two-round voting works by allowing voters to choose one option. If a candidate receives a majority of votes the election is over. If no candidate receives the majority or required number of votes, a second round of voting is held. Candidates who received less than a certain amount of votes are eliminated and ballots are cast again. The Schulz method was developed by Markus Schulze in It is a voting method that selects a single winner using votes that express preferences or ranking. The Schulz method works by allowing voters to rank the options and once all the ballots are submitted the Schulz method is applied.
The Schulz method is a Condorcet voting method.
