As a vote sponsor you have the option of setting up votes with one of four balloting systems.  These systems are all well established and have been in use by municipalities, corporations, associations and other groups for many years.  Here is a short description of each of the balloting systems:   

Standard or Plurality:  This is the most common system in use in democracies throughout the world (and at World Voting Booth).  Its hallmark is one person, one vote.  It works well and can't be beat when there are two candidates or selections to be made.  However, if there are more than two, sometimes no one receives a majority.   A third selection could  tip the result to a less popular choice as in recent U.S. presidential elections. 

Approval Voting.  Approval voting allows each voter to vote for all selections that they feel are acceptable. This tends to remove undesirable or unpopular selections from contention. This method is used by the Mathematical Association of America, the American Statistical Association, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers and others. 

Rank Voting.  Voters assign ranking points to each selection according to desirability.  This system is also known as the Borda Count method.  For example, if there are six selections, a 6 is entered for the most desirable selection, a 5 for the second most desirable selection, etc.  All selections are ranked.  This method is used by the Associated Press for college football and basketball polls.

Cumulative Voting.  Each voter gets a total of 10 votes to apply to the various answer selections as they wish.  They enter the largest number for the most desired selection continuing with smaller numbers for less desirable selections.  For example, they could enter a 10 for their favorite selection and none for the others. Or they can divide their votes up among more selections as they wish, perhaps giving 7 to one and 3 to another.  All 10 votes must be used.  Many state municipalities and many corporate boards (eg. Toys "R" Us, Hewlett-Packard) use this method.  Use this method for prediction markets. 

 Votes consisting of multiple questions can be setup with each issue having a different ballot system.
