A majoritarian electoral system is a voting method 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 goal is to ensure that the winning candidate has broad support among voters, ideally achieving more than 50% of the votes. In many countries, such as the United States and United Kingdom, majoritarian systems are common. They can lead to a clear winner, reducing the likelihood of coalition governments. However, critics argue that this system can marginalize smaller parties and underrepresent diverse viewpoints in the political landscape.
