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, up to 1948, people affiliated with a university were allowed 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 , which was first applied in the 1950 General Election. 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 .

In linguistics , a broken plural or internal plural is an irregular plural form of a noun or adjective found in the Semitic languages and other Afroasiatic languages such as Berber languages Berber . Broken plurals are formed by changing the pattern of consonants and vowels inside the singular form. They contrast with sound plurals or external plurals , which are formed by adding a suffix . While the phenomenon is known from several Semitic languages, nowhere has it become as productive as in Arabic language Arabic .

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
