The Election Systems Of StateOS: Part 1 FPTP.

Hi! Today, I'm talking about the election system within StateOS. StateOS has several different election systems. This is the first part, part 1, which is the FPTP elections. I will show screenshots as well for most of them. I realized I had to split these apart into different sections, as it would have taken me too long to make one giant post with all of them. Keep in mind, these only include elections that function correctly and properly within the game at the moment.

View the screenshots attached to see all of the screenshots of the elections currently in the game for FPTP.

The election types currently within StateOS:

• First Past The Post (FPTP)
• Two Round System
• Electoral College
• Party List Proportional Representation (PartyListPR)
• Mixed Member Proportional (MMP)
• Mixed Member Majoritarian (MMM)
• Singular Non-Transferable Vote Multi-Member District (SNTV_MMD)
• BlockVote
• Plurality MMD

First Past The Post is used in these elections currently:

USA Elections:

• U.S. House of Representatives: Each congressional district is a single-member district that elects its representative using FPTP.
• U.S. Senate: While some states (like Georgia) have a 50% runoff rule, most Senate races are won by the candidate with the highest number of votes in a single round. (For now, they all use just a simple FPTP system)
• State Governor: The candidate with the highest vote share wins the governorship.
• State Legislatures (House and Senate): State-level representatives and senators are elected via FPTP in single-member districts.
• Mayor and other Local Elections: Many city and county-level positions are FPTP for districts or an MMD system or hybrid. (Currently, all city council elections are Plurality MMD elections)

United Kingdom:

• House of Commons: All members of Parliament (MPs) are elected in single-member constituencies where the highest vote-getter wins the seat.
• Local Council Elections (England and Wales): The majority of local councillors are elected using FPTP.

Canada:

• House of Commons: Members of Parliament (MPs) are elected to represent individual districts (ridings) based on FPTP.
• Provincial Legislatures: Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) or Legislative Assemblies (MLAs) are also elected via FPTP.
• Municipal Elections: Currently, all mayors and city councillors are elected using this system.

Philippines:

• President and Vice-President: These executives are elected in two separate, nationwide FPTP contests.
• House of Representatives: The majority of representatives are chosen in single-member congressional districts via FPTP.
• Provincial Governors and City/Municipal Mayors: All local executives are elected by plurality.

Japan:

• Members of the House of Representatives (Constituency Seats): This is the part of the election where voters choose a local candidate to represent their specific district. The candidate with the most votes in that district wins the seat.
• Prefectural Governors
• City and Municipal Mayors

South Korea:

• President: The presidential election is a single, nationwide FPTP contest.
• Members of the National Assembly (Constituency Seats): This is the direct vote for a local candidate to represent a specific district. The winner is the person with the most votes.
