A Single-Member District is an electoral district that elects one representative to a legislative body. This system is commonly used in various countries, including the United States, where each district corresponds to a specific geographic area. Voters in that district cast their ballots for one candidate, and the candidate with the most votes wins the election. This approach contrasts with multi-member districts, where multiple representatives are elected from a single area. Single-member districts can enhance accountability, as constituents have a specific representative to address their concerns. However, they can also lead to issues like gerrymandering, where district boundaries are manipulated for political advantage.
