Talk:Electoral system
Merger
[change source]Electoral systems are not the same as voting systems. i dont think merger would be helpful. Rathfelder (talk) 21:13, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

- Electoral system is a wider term. There isnt always voting. Electoral system seems to include delegation. You could see the British House of Lords, for example, as part of an electoral system. Rathfelder (talk) 12:03, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
- If not all electoral systems are voting systems, but all voting systems are electoral systems, then 'Voting system' should become a section of the 'Electoral system' page. Contagious Owl (talk) 08:53, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Rathfelder: I am currently going through the merge requests. I agree with Contagious Owl that it seems that "voting systems" could be incorporated as a section within this article. Thoughts? Griff (talk) 01:18, 20 January 2025 (UTC)
