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.The most common system, used in
Canada,
India, the
UK, and the
USA, is first past the post or winner-takes-all, a
voting system in which a single winner is chosen in a given constituency by having the most votes.In some countries such as
France a similar system is used, but there are two rounds: the "two-round" or "two-ballot" plurality system. The two highest-voted candidates of the first round compete in a two-candidate second round or all candidates above a certain threshold in the first round compete in a two-, three- or four-candidate second round. If one candidate has a majority of votes in the first round, there is no second round.
