Definition

A winner-take-all electoral system is a voting method in which the candidate or party receiving the most votes wins all available seats or electoral votes, without any proportional distribution. This system is often used in single-member districts and can lead to a significant advantage for the majority party, potentially underrepresenting minority groups.

Examples

  • • At-Large Voting: City of Los Angeles City Council elections
  • • Electoral College System: United States presidential elections
