I call that having 2, 3, 4, 5 or even more votes.

Usual misconception. If you vote for all and they count your last choice you
haven't really voted. Your earlier choices have been eliminated.

You have indeed voted, for many different candidates, you just haven't
got them all elected. Having cake and eating it comes to mind.
