Embedded Files
This site provides an overview of three voting methods which can be used for mutiple winner elections: cumulative voting, single transferable voting, and approval voting. Each module provides important vocabulary, an indepth lesson of the topic, and several excercises for students to test their new knowledge. A final review is given for students to test their new skills after completeing all three modules with a list of resources for future study.

The goal of this teaching module is to provide students with a brief, but comprehensive introduction to multiple winner election voting systems. We will discuss cumulative voting, single transferable voting, and approval voting.
Students will gain understanding of the methodology behind each voting process, and will be provided with quizzes and examples of each method to better understand how each one works. Students will compare voting methods and discern the pros and cons associated with each method.
