The most common electoral system in the United States used to elect House members and many state and local officials. Each district votes on one person to represent them in a legislative body. In a plurality system, a winner must earn more votes than his opponent - even if his total is fewer than 50 percent. In a majority system, there are run-offs to ensure a lead candidate receives the majority of voters' support.

Nearly all elections held in the US are of this type. A single Member district election is a contest in which only one candidate is elected to each office. They are winner take all elections.
