In 1965, Gambia introduced a unique voting system using marbles to accommodate its illiterate population. Voters drop marbles into color-coded drums representing candidates, with a bell confirming each vote. Bicycles are banned near polling stations to prevent confusion.
In 1982, Guam held a plebiscite with six options, including a blank option that allowed voters to campaign and vote for a seventh option.
In 1992, New Zealand held a referendum with five options, a departure from the usual binary format of most referendums.
Estonia implemented online voting for its local elections in 2005, becoming one of the earliest adopters of this technology.
In 2014, a Toronto election highlighted the difference between plurality voting (winning with the most votes) and majority voting (winning with over half the votes). Plurality voting can result in winners with significantly less than half of the total votes, sometimes as low as 18%, as seen in the 2014 Toronto election.
