The Cyclopedic Law Dictionary
That by which the voter concentrates his ballots on one or more candidates, instead of voting for the full number to be elected. Thus, a stockholder holding fifty shares may, under such a system, if five directors are to be chosen, cast two hundred and fifty votes for one, or one hundred and twenty-five for each of two, instead of voting fifty votes for each of five.
