Which electoral system is used in USA and Britain to elect members of Legislature ?
Answer: A
The USA and Britain use the simple plurality vote to elect their legislatures.
Both elect members of the House of Representatives and the House of Commons from single-member constituencies by first-past-the-post: the candidate with the most votes wins, even without a majority. India uses the same system for the Lok Sabha.
The alternative vote ranks candidates until one gets a majority (used for the Australian House of Representatives). Proportional representation allots seats in proportion to votes, and the single transferable vote is a proportional system with multi-member constituencies, used in Ireland and for India's Rajya Sabha.
