14-61-120. Limited voting — Cumulative voting. (a) A majority of the qualified electors voting on the issue may vote to permit limited voting or cumulative voting for directors, other than the mayor, elected at large. (b) Under a limited voting system, voters are restricted to casting only one (1) vote for any single candidate, but are not given as many votes as there are at-large seats to fill. (c) Cumulative voting shall be construed as allowing every voter to cast as many votes as there are positions to be filled of the same category, without restricting the voter to casting only one (1) vote for any particular candidate. This system permits voters to aggregate or cumulate their votes. For example, in a three-seat, three-vote election, a voter may provide three (3) candidates with one (1) vote each, or the voter may cast two (2) votes for one (1) candidate and one (1) vote for a second candidate, or the voter may cast all three (3) votes for a single candidate.
