Party column method

Explanation:

In the Party Column method, the names of the parties are displayed on top of the columns and the different offices are featured on the sides.

On the other hand, the office-bloc arrangement , in which titles of offices appear across the ballot and the candidates of parties for each office are below the titles, encourages the voting of individual candidates.
