A '''single-member district''' or '''single-member constituency''' is an [[electoral district]] that returns one officeholder to a body with multiple members such as a [[legislature]]. This is also sometimes called '''single-winner voting''' or '''winner takes all'''. The alternatives are [[multi-member district]]s, or the election of a body by the whole electorate voting as one constituency. |
