An uninominal voting system is an electoral method where voters cast their ballots for a single candidate or party. There are several synonyms for this type of system, including first-past-the-post (FPTP), single-member district plurality (SMDP), and winner-takes-all. FPTP focuses on the candidate who receives the most votes, while SMDP emphasizes a specific district's overall election outcome. In contrast, the winner-takes-all approach indicates that whoever wins the most votes in a district takes all viable seats. Other synonyms for uninominal voting systems include single-member plurality, simple plurality, and plurality-at-large. Despite their varying names, these systems are commonly used in countries such as the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
