A majoritarian system is an electoral framework where the candidate or party that receives the most votes wins. This system is often used in single-member districts, meaning each electoral area elects one representative. The primary goal is to ensure that the winning candidate has a clear mandate from the majority of voters, which can lead to stable governments. In a majoritarian system, there are different variations, such as the First-Past-The-Post method, where the candidate with the highest number of votes wins, regardless of whether they achieve an absolute majority. This system can sometimes lead to a lack of proportionality, as smaller parties may struggle to gain representation.
