Weighted voting refers to voting rules that grant some voters a greater influence than others (which contrasts with rules that assign every voter an equal vote). Examples include publicly-traded companies (which typically grant stockholders one vote for each share they own), as well as the European council, where the number of votes of each member state is roughly proportional to the square root of the population.[1]
