It was a preferred method of national election for many years. However, there was a political debate as to whether Canada should implement election reform. As many people believe that the current SMP system does not accurately represent the interests of citizens, it is necessary to change to another voting method.

Most of the material on this website explains the advantages of proportional representation voting and multi-voting system for single member area. Since multiple voting of a single member is the main system of the national legislative election and the proportional representation is often considered as the main alternative to such multiple voting, these "arbitrary" or " It is convenient to consider. However, the actual range of available voting systems is wider than this. On the other hand, in addition to a single member area, there are several other winner take-all voting systems. PR has several forms. Other voting systems are not suitable for these categories. Therefore, if you want to include only discussions on PR and multiple systems in a larger context, it is useful to briefly introduce various voting systems.

In political science, the use of multiple votes by multiple single winners to elect multiple member institutions is often called single member region diversification or SMDP. This combination is also called the winner take-all to compare with the proportional display system. This term is also used to refer to the use of groups to vote for multiple winners in a particular constituency. In a single winner multiple votes each voter is allowed to vote only for one candidate and the winner of the election is a candidate representing multiple voters, ie the one who received the most votes. This will vote for one of the simplest election regimes among voters and county officials. (However, in this system, the drawing of regional boundaries is very controversial.)

Multi voting is an election system where each voter can vote only for one candidate and the candidate who voted most among his opponents. In a system based on a single member zone, it is sometimes called FPTP, single voting, simple multivariate, or relative / simple majority. In a multi-member based system, you can call it all winner vote or group vote. This system is usually used to elect a legislative council member or executive officer. This is the most common form of system for Canadian, Indian House of Lords (Lok Sabha), UK majority elections (except for some Scottish and Northern Ireland elections), and most US elections .
