Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The United States awards legislative seats on the basis of a winner-takes-all system, also known as first-past-the-post. This means the candidate with the most votes in a district or state wins the seat, regardless of whether they received a majority or just a plurality of the votes. Proportional representation is used in some other countries, where the number of seats a party receives is based on the proportion of votes they received in the election.
