The Republic of Venice was the longest lived democratic states in history(par Ancient Sparta), lasting over 500 years. It used a system based on approval voting, a single-winner election model that is capable of avoiding 2-party domination unlike FPTP & IRV. Was this the case in the Venetian Empire?
