Block Vote
The
Block Vote is simply the use of First Past the Post (FPTP) voting in
multi-member districts. Each elector is given as many votes as there are
seats to be filled, and they are usually free to vote for individual
candidates regardless of party affiliation. In most Block Vote systems
they may use as many, or as few, votes as they wish. As of September 1997,
the Palestinian Authority, Bermuda, Fiji, Laos, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Thailand, the Maldives, Kuwait, the Philippines, and Mauritius all use
Block Vote electoral systems
