Système électoral
thumb|400px|Système électoral utilisé pour élire la chambre basse par pays. Système majoritaire Système semi-proportionnel Système proportionnel Système mixte Autre Le 'système électoral, mode de scrutin', système de vote ou régime électoral, désigne tout type de processus permettant l'expression du choix d'un corps électoral donné, souvent la désignation d'élus pour exercer un mandat en tant que représentants de ce corps (élection), ou moins souvent le choix direct (référendum) d'une option parmi plusieurs.
Système mixte
Les systèmes mixtes sont des systèmes électoraux dans lesquels on intègre (scrutin mixte à finalité proportionnelle) ou bien on adjoint (scrutin parallèle) un scrutin majoritaire à un scrutin proportionnel afin d'élire une assemblée législative. Dans certains cas, il s'agit de compenser les conséquences de la surreprésentation d'une liste ayant obtenu le plus de voix dans le cadre d'un scrutin majoritaire. Cela a pour effet que des listes minoritaires soient quand même représentées au sein de l'assemblée concernée.
Electoral list
An electoral list is a grouping of candidates for election, usually found in proportional or mixed electoral systems, but also in some plurality electoral systems. An electoral list can be registered by a political party (a party list) or can constitute a group of independent candidates. Lists can be open, in which case electors have some influence over the ranking of the winning candidates, or closed, in which case the order of candidates is fixed at the registration of the list.
Mixed-member majoritarian representation
Mixed member majoritarian representation (MMM) is type of a mixed electoral system combining majoritarian and proportional methods, where the disproportional results of the majoritarian side of the system prevail over the proportional component. Mixed member majoritarian systems are therefore also as a type of semi-proportional representation, and are usually contrasted with mixed-member proportional representation (MMP) which aims to provide proportional representation via additional compensation ("top-up") seats.
Parallel voting
Parallel voting is a type of mixed electoral system in which representatives are voted into a single chamber using two or more different systems, most often first-past-the-post voting (FPTP) with party-list proportional representation (PR). It is the most common form of mixed member majoritarian representation (MMM), which is why these terms are often used synonymously with each other. In some countries, parallel voting is known as the supplementary member (SM) system, while in academic literature it is sometimes called the superposition method within mixed systems.
