• Preferential voting: a system of voting in which voters indicate their first, second, and lower choices of several candidates for a single office. If no candidate receives a majority, the second choices are added to the first choices until one candidate has a majority.
   
• First passed the post voting: the voter casts a single vote for the candidate of their choice. The candidate who receives the most votes is elected. This system is still used in many countries today including the United States, Canada and India, but no longer used in Australia.
