Imagine you’re in a classroom, and everyone gets to pick their favorite snack. But instead of just raising your hand, you have to write it on a piece of paper, put it in a box, and wait for the teacher to count them all. That’s kind of like voting! Sometimes we use simple ways, like writing down names, but other times we have complicated methods that make things harder. These different voting systems are used so everyone can choose their favorite candidate fairly.
Examples
- At school, you pick your favorite snack by writing it down.
- In a game of tag, the person who is ‘it’ gets eliminated first.
- You get to choose your favorite animal on a ballot.
