Plural voting is the practice whereby one person might be able to vote multiple times in an election . It is not to be confused with a plurality voting system which does not necessarily involve plural voting. Weighted voting is a generalisation of plural voting. United Kingdom In the United Kingdom , for example, it was once possible for people affiliated with a university to vote in both a university constituency and their home constituency, and property owners could vote both in the constituency where their property lay and that in which they lived, if the two were different. Some university educated property owners could even vote in three different constituencies. These practices were abolished by the Representation of the People Act 1948 . Belgium In Belgium, plural voting was introduced in 1893 and applied for elections from 1894 to 1919 as a way to limit the impact of universal suffrage .

A double plural is a plural form to which an extra suffix has been added, mainly because the original plural suffix had become improductive and therefore irregular. So the form as a whole was no longer seen as a plural this is an instance of morphological leveling . Examples of this can be seen in the history of English language English and Dutch language Dutch . Historically, the general English plural markers were not only s or en but also in certain specific declensions ra ru which is still rather general today in German language German under the form er . The ancient plural of child was cildra cildru , to which an en suffix was later added when the ra ru became unproductive the Dutch plural form kind er en and the corresponding Zeelandic form kind er s are also double plurals which were formed in the same way as the English double plurals, while for example German and Limburgian have historically conservative single plurals such as Kind er . wikt double plural See also Reduplicated plural Category Grammatical number Category Historical linguistics ling morph stub nl Stapelmeervoud ... more details

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Orphan date February 2009 A plural society is defined by Fredrik Barth as a society combining Ethnicity ethnic contrasts the Economics economic interdependence of those groups, and the Ecology ecological specialization i.e., use of different environmental resources by each ethnic group . The ecological interdependence, or the lack of competition, between ethnic groups may be based on the different activities in the same region or on long term occupation of different regions in the same nation state. In Barth s view, ethnic boundaries are most enduring and stable when groups occupy different ecological niches simply, they make their living in different ways and don t compete. When different ethnic groups exploit the same ecological niche, the Military militarily more powerful group will normally replace the weaker one. However, if the weaker group is better able to use marginal environments, the two groups could also coexist. Ethnic boundaries, distinctions, and interdependence can be maintained given niche specialization, although specific cultural features of each group may change. Defined by J S Furnivall as a medley of people s Demographics of Europe European , Nationalities of China Chinese , Demographics of India Indian and wiktionary native native , who do mix but do not combine. Each group holds by its own religion , its own culture and language , its own idea s and ways. As individuals they meet, but only in the marketplace in buy ing and sell ing. There is a plural society, with different sections of the community living side by side, within the same Politics political unit.
