The 'first-past-the-post system of voting is also called

The 'first-past-the-post system' of voting is also called the 'simple majority system.' In this system, voters cast their vote for the candidate of their choice, and the candidate who receives the most votes (the "first-past-the-post") wins the election. It's called the simple majority system because the candidate only needs to receive a simple majority of the votes (more than any other candidate) to win the election, rather than a majority of all the votes cast. This system is commonly used in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada for their national elections.
