{{Electoral systems}}[[File:Matrix vote sample.png|thumb|Sample matrix vote]]<br />
The '''matrix vote''' is a voting procedure which can be used when one group of people wishes to elect a smaller number of persons, each of whom is to have a different assignment. Examples of its use are:<br />
#when an association elects its executive committee; and<br />
#when a parliament elects its all-party power-sharing [[coalition government]].<br />
Consider the situation in which a parliament elects a government of ten ministers.<br />
* The [[Ballot|ballot paper]] is tabular, a matrix, ten by ten: on one axis are listed the ten ministerial posts to be elected, and on the other axis are the ten preferences.<br />
* Each MP then casts one vote (of a maximum) of ten preferences, naming the ten ministers in her order of preference, and saying at the same time in which ministerial post she wishes each of her nominees to serve. A full [[ballot]] will contain one name in each column, and one name in each row: that is, she identifies, in her order of preference, ten nominees, one for each of the ten ministerial posts.<br />
* The count is in two stages: a [[Quota Borda system]] (QBS) is used to identify the ten most popular candidates; and then a [[Borda count#Modified Borda count|Modified Borda Count]] determines which of these successful candidates will serve in which ministry.<br />
The matrix vote is proportional.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}} It is ideally suited, therefore, to the formation of power-sharing governments, especially in post-conflict scenarios, and not least because it works without any resort to party or sectarian labels.<ref>Designing an All-Inclusive Democracy by Peter Emerson, published by Springer Verlag, 2007, part I pages 61-85, "Designing an All-Inclusive Democracy" {{ISBN|978-3-540-33163-6}} (print) 978-3-540-33164-3 (online)</ref><ref>[http://www.deborda.org/faq/voting-systems/a-matrix-vote.html What is a Matrix Vote?]</ref><br />
