First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) is an electoral system where the candidate with the most votes in a constituency wins. This method is commonly used in various countries, including the United States and United Kingdom, for elections to legislative bodies. Voters select one candidate, and the one with the highest number of votes, regardless of whether they achieve an absolute majority, is declared the winner. FPTP is praised for its simplicity and speed in counting votes, but it also faces criticism for potentially leading to unrepresentative outcomes. Smaller parties often struggle to gain seats, as the system tends to favor larger parties, which can result in a lack of proportionality in representation.
