What is the block vote electoral system?

The block vote electoral system is a voting method where each voter has multiple votes, typically equal to the number of seats to be filled. Voters can distribute their votes among the candidates as they wish, including giving all their votes to a single candidate. The candidates with the highest number of votes are elected. This system is often used in multi-member constituencies and can result in a disproportionate representation of the majority party or group.
