A Multi-Member District (MMD) is an electoral district that elects multiple representatives to a legislative body, rather than just one. This system allows voters to select more than one candidate, which can lead to a more diverse representation of political views and interests within the district. MMDs are often used in proportional representation systems, where the goal is to reflect the overall vote share of different parties. In contrast to Single-Member Districts (SMDs), where one candidate wins based on the most votes, MMDs can help smaller parties gain representation. This can enhance voter engagement and ensure that minority voices are heard in the legislative process. Examples of countries using MMDs include Germany and New Zealand.
