first-past-the-post voting

Read a random definition: ad interim

A quick definition of first-past-the-post voting:

First-past-the-post voting is a way of deciding who wins an election by counting the number of votes each candidate gets. The candidate with the most votes wins, even if they don't have more than half of the votes. This is different from other types of voting where voters rank their choices or vote for multiple candidates. It's like a race where the first person to cross the finish line wins, even if they didn't run the fastest.

A more thorough explanation:

First-past-the-post voting, also known as plurality voting, is a system of voting where the candidate with the most votes wins, even if they do not have a majority of the votes. This means that a candidate can win with less than 50% of the votes if there are multiple candidates running.

For example, in a three-way race, Candidate A may win with 40% of the votes, while Candidates B and C each receive 30% of the votes.

This system is commonly used in elections for political offices, such as the President of the United States or members of Congress.
