Abstract
In the absence of ideality, communities—and indeed Congress and the Justice Department—have taken action to enhance the “representativeness” of local policy-making bodies.

This article reviews the various electoral systems with which communities have experimented during this century and offers some alternatives to “winner takes all”.
