Answer #1

Plurality - plurality voting is an electoral system in which each voter is allowed to vote for only one candidate and the candidate who polls the most among their counterparts is elected.

Top two run off - Despite of its names in this system the voter casts a single vote for their chosen candidate.

Whats important here is if no candidate receives enough vote in the first round then a second round of voting is held with either just the top two candidates or all candidates who received a certain proportion of the votes.

Borda Count- as in borda count method where the voter ranks the candidate in list of their preference.

yes its possible to have a vote for three candidates suing a ranked ballot.

Thanks.

Multisim A Shift Register is a series of flip-flops connected so that data can be transferred to a neighbor each time the clock pulse is active. These shift registers can be constructed using D or J-K flip-flops. A shift register counter is a shift register with the serial output connected back to the serial input to produce special sequences. Two of the most common shift register counters are the Johnson Counter [Twisted Ring Counter] and the Ring Counter [Overbeck Counter]....
