Plurality-at-large voting, also known as
block vote or
multiple non-transferable vote (
MNTV), is a non-
proportional voting system for electing several representatives from a single multimember
electoral district using a series of check boxes and tallying votes similar to a
plurality election. Although multiple winners are elected simultaneously, block voting is not a system for obtaining
proportional representation; instead, the usual result is that the largest single group wins every seat by electing a
slate of candidates, resulting in a
landslide.
