The UK uses a 'first past the post' system for General Elections, which means the candidate with the most votes wins the seat regardless of their share of the vote. Other voting systems, such as proportional representation, are used for other types of elections. The UK has also held referendums on whether to adopt the Alternative Vote in 2011.
