Single-member district is an electoral system in which the candidate with the largest share of the vote in a district wins the seat. This system is commonly used in countries like the United States, where each state is divided into districts and each district elects a representative to the House of Representatives. The candidate with the largest share of the vote in each district wins the seat, even if they did not win a majority of the vote.
