Talk:First past the post

Is it actually true that you cast a vote for exactly one candidate?

Multimember elections held under this system are often described as first past the post - Is this incorrect?

(not me - LP)

That's the definition of First Past The Post: a single-member election where each voter votes for only one of the candidates.

A multimember election where each voter has a single vote is the Single Non-Transferable Vote.
