Question

1. (03.08 lo) which election method splits votes among the candidates according to the number of voters for each? (3 points) electoral college popular vote winner-take-all vote proportional representation

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Electoral College: A system for electing the U.S. president, not about splitting votes proportionally among candidates.
• Popular vote: Refers to the total number of votes cast by the public, not a method of splitting votes among candidates.
• Winner - take - all vote: The candidate with the most votes gets all the representation (e.g., in some U.S. states for Electoral College), not splitting votes.
• Proportional representation: This method allocates seats (or votes, in the context of vote - splitting) to candidates based on the proportion of votes they receive. So it is the method that splits votes among candidates according to the number of voters for each.

Answer:

Proportional representation (the option with the yellow - highlighted circle, which is the "Proportional representation" option)
