P&L11 - Democracy and the Rule of Law/Representation & Justice: 1st Past the Post

First-Past-The-Post Voting, more correctly known as Simple Majority voting, is the most popular voting system employed throughout the democratic world.
However, it is not used in elections to any Australian house of Parliament.

The Australian electorate has experienced three types of voting system First Past the Post, Preferential Voting and Proportional Representation (Single Transferable Vote).

The Coalition would command a 16-seat majority and the Greens would pick up an extra seat in the House of Representatives – if Australia's election results were replicated under a first-past-the-post system.
