First-Past-the-Post (FPTP) is an electoral system used to elect representatives in single-member districts. In this system, the candidate who receives the most votes in a constituency wins. There is no requirement for the winner to achieve an absolute majority, meaning they can win even if they receive less than 50% of the total votes.
FPTP is commonly used in countries like the United States and United Kingdom. While it is straightforward and quick to count votes, critics argue that it can lead to unrepresentative outcomes, as smaller parties may struggle to gain seats, and voters may feel compelled to vote strategically rather than for their preferred candidate.
