Cumulative voting is a system where a shareholder can accumulate all of their votes and vote for one candidate, or split them among several candidates. This provides minority shareholders with a greater chance of having their voices heard and their candidates elected to the board. Trust voting is not a recognized system of voting, and noncumulative voting allows for a shareholder to only vote for one candidate per seat, without the option to split votes. Supramajority voting requires a larger percentage of total votes, typically two-thirds, to pass certain measures or make changes to a corporation's bylaws.
