The term electoral system can refer to the method by which elections are conducted (e.g., whether representatives are elected from single-member versus multi-member districts) or the method by which votes are tallied to determine the outcome of an election (e.g., plurality systems, majority systems, etc.). In the United States, most states utilize single-member districts for federal (non-presidential) and state elections.[1][2][3]

Footnotes
- ↑ Presidential contests are decided not by popular vote but by the Electoral College. The Electoral College is discussed in greater detail in this article. Some state legislatures and local government entities conduct elections from multi-member districts in which a number of representatives are elected from the same electoral district. This is a form of proportional representation.
