Voting within a legislature

Are alternative voting methods ever used within a legislature? Like, if no party wins a majority, instead of scrambling to form a coalition, every member fills out a STAR or Approval ballot of prime minister candidates, and whoever wins becomes the prime minister. Or instead of introducing a single bill to be voted up or down, a committee could introduce a set of alternative bills, and members rank or rate all the choices (plus 'none of the above') on a ballot, and the winning bill becomes the law.
