The plurality voting system is a single-winner voting system often used to elect executive officers or to elect members of a legislative assembly which is based on single-member constituencies.



Historically, FPTP (first-past-the-post) has been a contentious electoral system, giving rise to the concept of electoral reform and a multiplicity of different voting systems intended to address perceived weaknesses of plurality voting.

A voting system allows voters to choose between options, often in an election where candidates are selected for public office.
