What is accumulation and how does it work?!

The "cumulation" of votes, or better understood, the accumulation of votes, means nothing other than that you can give candidates more than one vote.

Example Municipal Council of Heilbronn

The local council is made up of 40 local councillors; The size of the local council is determined by the number of residents. Each voter therefore has a total of 40 votes available, which they can give to all candidates on the electoral lists. If the voter wants to cumulate, he can award up to 3 votes to individual candidates, but may not award more than 40 votes in total, otherwise all of his votes will be invalid! If the voter is on a list e.g. For example, if he gives the first 10 candidates three votes each, he has already awarded 30 votes and can now only award a total of 30 votes to the other 10 remaining candidates. If he now gives 10 vote each to the following 1 candidates, he will have given away his 40 votes and the remaining 20 candidates will receive “empty”.

What is variegation and how does it work?!

The "mixing" of votes, or better understood, the mixing of votes, means either that you take the list of a party where you want to cast the most votes and then candidates from other lists that you also want to vote for, transfers to this list and then selects it there as well. Or else, the voter submits several lists, although in total no more than the total number of votes to be awarded may be assigned.

Example municipal council of Heilbronn:

The local council is made up of 40 local councillors; The size of the local council is determined by the number of residents. Each voter therefore has a total of 40 votes available, which they can give to all candidates on the electoral lists. The voter can now take a list, vote for 30 candidates there and then add ten more candidates from other lists to this list. This brings him to a total of 40 votes to be awarded. Alternatively, the voter takes e.g. B. four lists and then elects ten candidates there, and has also awarded his 40 votes.

Of course, I would be very happy if you gave me three of your 40 votes!

I can be found on the List of Free Voters (FWV HN) - list position 11.
