== Types of Limited Voting ==
An PR expert described the two types of limited voting:

-Limited vote (ordinary form) where each voter has a number of votes equivalent to more than half the seats being filled. An example of this is the Birmingham 1880 election described above. Two parties at most are likely represented, and never more than the number of seats.

-Limited vote (special form) where each voter has a number of votes equivalent to less than half the seats being filled. An example of this occurred In Japan during the US-led Allied occupation. In the [[1946 Japanese general election|first post-war election in 1946]]: in districts with ten or fewer representatives each voter had two votes; in districts with ten or fewer representatives each voter had three votes in districts with more than ten representatives.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Tyson |first=Robert |title="Various voting methods" |url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015030334216&seq=69&q1=tyson |journal=Arena |issue=Jan. 1908 |pages=60}}</ref> In that election, with district magnitude mostly ranging from 6 to 23, many parties (usually 4 to 7 or more) elected representatives in almost every district.
