- Plurality electoral systems: It awards the seat to the candidate who receives the most votes. It is also known as first-past-the-post system.
- Majority electoral systems: In this system, a candidate has to win a majority (more than 50% of the votes). A majority system requires a majority or 50%+1 votes, to win.
