Search terms:

Choice voting, Preferential voting or Preference voting
Cumulative voting (also accumulation voting, weighted voting or multi-voting)

Notes:

Perhaps STV and Cumulative voting can be combined. I think under some conditions more than one vote can come from a voter for a candidate already, but I'm not sure.
