First - past - the - post voting is a plurality voting method . FPTP is a common, but not universal, feature of electoral systems with single - member electoral divisions, and is practiced in close to one third of countries . Notable examples include Canada, India, Pakistan, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as most of their current or former colonies and protectorates . </P> <P> First - past - the - post voting methods can be used for single - and multiple - member electoral divisions . In a single - member election, the candidate with the highest number (but not necessarily a majority) of votes is elected . In a multiple - member election (or multiple - selection ballot), each voter casts (up to) the same number of votes as there are positions to be filled, and those elected are the highest - placed candidates corresponding to that number of positions . For example, if there are three vacancies, then the three candidates with the greatest numbers of votes are elected . </P>
