Answer 1

Answer:

An at-large place election

Explanation:

An At-Large election is considered to be mostly multi-seat contests. In this aspect, all or some of the seats are contested at-large.

This means that, the voters will elect several candidates at once to the same office.

In this type of election, voters are allotted as many votes as there are seats.

For example, five votes to elect a city council of five members. Although, the voters are not required to use all their votes, but they may only give one vote to each the candidates they do vote for.

In this case, Elise is taking part in an At-large type of election. This is because, she has the tendency or opportunity to cast vote for all the candidates.
