The plurality electoral system is the oldest and the most frequently used voting system. It is used for legislative elections in the United States and India--the world's two largest liberal democracies--as well as the United Kingdom and many former British colonies.
Mixed member proportional representation (MMP), also called the additional member system (AMS), is a two-tier mixed electoral system combining a non-proportional plurality/majoritarian election and a compensatory regional or national party list PR election. Voters typically have two votes, one for their single-member district and one for the party list, the party list vote determining the balance of the parties in the elected body.
