A system that allows each political party to participate in governance according to its percentage of the vote is called a proportional representation system. In this system, the number of seats a party receives is proportional to the number of votes it receives. This is different from a majority or plurality system, where the party with the most votes wins all the seats in the district. A minority system is not a specific type of electoral system. Arrow's theorem is a concept in voting theory, but it is not a type of electoral system.
