Worldwide, the different types of electoral systems include plurality (first-past-the-post), majoritarian, and proportional representation. Plurality systems award victory to the candidate with the most votes, while majoritarian systems require a candidate to obtain an absolute majority of votes to win. Proportional representation allocates seats in the legislature based on the percentage of votes received by parties, allowing for a broader representation of diverse political perspectives. Additionally, mixed electoral systems combine elements of majoritarian and proportional approaches, enhancing overall representation and voter choice.
