The '''first-past-the-post electoral system''' is a [[voting system]] for single-member districts, variously called '''first-past-the-post (FPTP or FPP)''', '''winner-take-all''', '''[[plurality]] voting''', or '''relative majority'''. In political science, it is known as '''Single-Member District Plurality''' or '''SMDP'''. This system is in use at all levels of politics; it is very common in former British colonies. A thorough list is given below.
