Imagine you're picking a favorite ice cream flavor. A voting system is like the person who counts all the votes for each flavor to decide which one wins. Some systems count every vote individually, while others might add up the totals at the end. Like how some people do math in their head and others use a calculator, both get the right answer but in different ways.
Examples
- You pick your favorite ice cream flavor, and your vote goes to that flavor, just like in first-past-the-post.
- A voting machine counts every ballot individually, like a teacher counting test scores one by one.
- Your school elects a class president, and you get to rank your top three choices, similar to ranked-choice voting.
