Allocation voting

Delete. The article says:

Allocation voting is any voting system in which voters are assigned a number of "points" or other unit of account, and are expected to allocate these among a number of alternatives. Unlike preference voting the numbers do not represent ranks but weights. Unlike Range voting, the total number of votes is fixed. A voter may cast all votes for a single candidate or option, or may spread the votes out among multiple candidates or options.

So according to that, "allocation voting" is a neologism for cumulative voting. Cordyceps2009 (talk) 20:40, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
