Voting system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A voting system may select only one option (usually a candidate, but also an option that represents a decision), in which case it is called a "single winner system", or it may select multiple options, for example candidates to fill an assembly or alternative possible decisions on the measure the ballot posed. In a party list system, each voter votes for one party, and then a mathematical formula is used to approximately distribute the seats in the legislature in proportion to each party's share of the vote. Voting systems are methods (algorithms) for groups of people to select one or more options from many, taking into account the individual preferences of the group members. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Voting_system

Runoff voting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A two-round runoff voting system, in practice, may work as a system of primary elections in countries where there are two major partisan blocks, by choosing for the second round of election a candidate in each block. A simplified model of a two round system is the supplementary vote. In a two round runoff, Knoxville and Chattanooga are eliminated, while Nashville and Memphis advance to the second ballot. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Runoff_voting

vstc10.txt The astral system to which we belong, is conceived to be of an oblong, flattish form, with a space wholly or comparatively vacant in the centre, while the extremity in one direction parts into two. This kind of solar system has also been observed in what appears to be its rudimental state, for there are examples of nebulous stars containing two and three nuclei in near association. This is further established by their possessing a faint development of two canals passing from near the anus to the external surface of the viscera, which are fully possessed in reptiles and fishes, for the purpose of supplying aerated water to the blood circulating in particular vessels, but which are unneeded by mammifers. www.knowledgerush.com /pg/etext04/vstc10.txt

Behind the Ballot Box Among other things, voting systems help to determine which officials are elected to run our governments, the variety of parties that voters have to choose from at the polls, how many citizens will turnout to vote, which citizens will or will not be represented in our legislatures, and whether the majority will rule. Ultimately, the choice of voting system not only has a profound effect on the process of elections, but also on the degree to which a political system is fair, representative, and democratic. Obviously systems that require multimember districts, such as proportional and semi-proportional systems, cannot be used to elect a single official. www.mtholyoke.edu /acad/polit/damy/OrderDesk/behind_the_ballot_box.htm

Lousiana Nonpartisan Primary System As a general rule, since only the top two finishers in the opening primary have had any chance to advance to a runoff election, it proved to be very difficult for minor party candidates to appear on Louisiana's November election ballot for federal and state elections. In 1992, the 4th congressional district primary resulted in two Democrats reaching the runoff election (without Republican or third party candidate appearing on the November ballot), while the 6th congressional district resulted in two Republicans reaching the runoff election (without Democrats or third party candidates on the November ballot). Two American localities passed instant runoff voting ballot measures in 1998 and 1999. www.fairvote.org /irv/louisiana.htm

Two-Round System The most common method, as used in the Ukraine, is for the second round of voting to be a straight "run-off" contest between the two highest vote-winners from the first round; this is called a majority-runoff system (see Ukraine - The Perils of Majoritarianism in a New Democracy). Each name indicates the central feature of the system: that it is not one election, but takes place in two rounds, often a week or a fortnight apart. Unlike straight majority-runoff, this system is not truly majoritarian, as there may be up to five or six candidates contesting the second round of elections. www.aceproject.org /main/english/es/esd04.htm

Vojvodina parliamentary election, 2004 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia One half (60 MPs) is elected based on a proportional representation one-round system, according to which Vojvodina is one electorial unit. Second round of elections is to be held on October 3rd 2004, at the same time when the second round of elections for Majors in Serbia are held. First round of the Vojvodina parliamentary election was held on September 19th 2004, at the same time when the local elections were held in the whole of Serbia (with the exception of the Autonomous Province of Kosovo). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Vojvodina_parliamentary_election,_2004

II-2 Eleven round trips are needed for the main base and two round trips for the downrange station; allowing three more trips between LLO and the surface for unforeseen contingencies, 896 tons of propellant are needed to start lunar surface operations. Thereafter, the entire system is bootstrapped to higher levels by diverting some of the lunar materials delivered to the SMF into reaction mass for the MDRE fleet, permitting more rapid expansion of the system than would be possible if the only source of reaction mass were the Shuttle external tanks. A continuous, low-thrust propulsion system (such as the MDRE) is illsuited for orbital transfers between a circular orbit such as the LEO station and a highly eccentric orbit such as the 2:1 resonance orbit. www.nas.nasa.gov /About/Education/SpaceSettlement/spaceres/II-2.html

reason But when a system of religion is made to grow out of a supposed system of creation that is not true, and to unite itself therewith in a manner almost inseparable therefrom, the case assumes an entirely different ground. The system of worlds next to us exhibits, in its revolutions, the same principles and school of science to the inhabitants of their system, as our system does to us, and in like manner throughout the immensity of space. There may be many systems of religion that, so far from being morally bad, are in many respects morally good; but there can be but ONE that is true; and that one necessarily must, as it ever will, be in all things consistent with the ever-existing word of God that we behold in his works. www.textfiles.com /etext/NONFICTION/reason

Secular Ideology: A Review of Voting Systems The above systems specify the existence of discrete votes; that is, a voter either votes for a party or does not, whether he does this once, as in PR, twice, as in two-round voting, or as many times as he likes on the same sheet, as in approval voting. A problem with this system, as illustrated here, is that it once more leads to a significant fraction not being represented (the 44% of voters who supported the Republican candidate in the last round). This system is also a relief for floating voters, who no longer have to make a decision between two parties they support equally. wmu.8k.com /secular/voting.html

A framework for pedagogical evaluation of virtual learning environments Two popular models are to use a homepage for the course which is presented on log-in with hyperlinks that act as jump-stations to the various tools that are available or, alternatively, to use a hierarchical tree structure. We have elected to use the organisational systems model because it is essential to understand that when one decides to change one element in a system (such as the teaching and learning process by introducing new software), it is necessary to consider the impact on other elements of the system. We have considered two methods of breaking down the elements of the model in order to assess the correspondence of a VLE to the requirements of the model, although undoubtedly others are possible. www.leeds.ac.uk /educol/documents/00001237.htm

Vilnius Scraps System Of Two-Round Voting Previous elections took place in two rounds several weeks apart, with party list voting under a proportional system deciding 70 mandates in the first round. VILNIUS, Lithuania -- Lithuania's parliament voted Tuesday to scrap a two-round voting system in the fall elections, a move analysts and opposition members said bolstered established parties against a rising tide of newcomers. First-round ballots were also cast for the other 71 single mandates, but most of those seats were filled in the second round as preliminary voting usually left most candidates short of the 50 percent needed to win the seat. dev.themoscowtimes.com /stories/2000/07/06/019.html

20021116.htm In the French two-round system, a candidate on one of the extremes can have the satisfaction of being the runner-up in the second round of elections and, thereby, having some influence. Is the emergence of the Right’s UMP a precursor to a two-party political system in France similar to that in the United States? Thus the French political system is becoming more like the American one not only in the way that it is structured but in an ideological sense as well. www.brook.edu /views/op-ed/gordon/20021116.htm

EPA: Federal Register: Amendments to Streamline the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Program Regulations: Round Two As of July 1, 1994, there were two NPDES permits for which an evidentiary hearing had been granted but the proceedings had not yet concluded, and 17 for which an appeal was pending before the EAB. Since there are no significant differences between the two sets of rules, EPA sees no reason to leave subpart E in the Code of Federal Regulations solely to cover the very occasional involuntary NPDES or RCRA permit termination. BMPs are authorized under two provisions of the CWA, sections 304(e) and 402(a)(1). www.epa.gov /fedrgstr/EPA-WATER/1996/December/Day-11/pr-21089.html

Small Low-cost Interceptor Device (SLID) The entire integrated system is sized to reside on a small platform, with maximum component commonality between the vehicle self-defense system and the area defense system. The SLID System draws upon technologies developed and demonstrated by Boeing including infrared sensors for threat warning, threat acquisition, and tracking; laser illuminators for threat designation, rangefinding and autonomous tracking; laser seekers for high accuracy terminal guidance; advanced digital processors for high speed computation; and solid propellant divert thrusters for interceptor maneuverability in flight. Also under evaluation is an extended range (2km+) SLID system concept for defense of a wide spectrum of military assets at very long standoff ranges. www.boeing.com /defense-space/missiles/slid/slid.htm   (2126 words)

International IDEA Glossary of Terms A Two-Round System may take a majority-plurality form–more than two candidates contest the second round and the one wins the highest number of votes in the second round is elected, regardless of whether they have won an absolute majority–or a majority run-off form–only the top two candidates in the first round contest the second round. A Parallel System is a mixed system in which the choices expressed by the voters are used to elect representatives through two different systems–one List PR system and (usually) one plurality/majority system–but where no account is taken of the seats allocated under the first system in calculating the results in the second system. Mixed Member Proportional is a mixed system in which the choices expressed by the voters are used to elect representatives through two different systems–one List PR system and (usually) one plurality/majority system–where the List PR system compensates for the disproportionality in the results from the plurality/majority system. www.idea.int /esd/glossary.cfm?renderforprint=1   (716 words)

Jeff Ellis -- Teleoperation w/ Time Delay Candidate adaptive methods included recursive least-squares algorithms to adjust the model parameters, the use of adaptive control approaches (model-reference adaptive controller, self-tuning regulator, etc.), and neural networks to perform on-line system identification of the unmodelled dynamics (or of the entire system). The premise of this research is that the time delay inherent in teleoperation over large distances can be overcome by presenting the operator with an interactive simulation of the system being controlled rather than with the time-delayed video and telemetry data. Ground-to-space teleoperation is hindered by time delays imposed by the speed-of-light limit of radio transmissions over large distances, as well as processing at various nodes along the communications path. www.geocities.com /CapeCanaveral/Hangar/2883/teleop_w_time_delay.html   (555 words)
