There are three types of electoral systems generally used throughout the world. Majority electoral systems, pluralistic electoral systems and proportional representation. The party list system, a subcategory of proportional representation, has long been evaluated and analyzed by numerous groups to identify whether it has the potential to succeed. In particular, since its introduction in 1850, the single non-transferable vote or SNTV is a particular electoral system that has been evaluated. SNTV is a system used for multi-member elections and can be used for both provincial and legislative systems. Through careful investigation one can see that SNTV is similar in many respects to other electoral systems and how politicians make politics. However, SNTV also influences some different types of policy making by politicians as a result of the way votes are counted. With the SNTV system, each voter can cast a vote for a candidate running in a race in which there are multiple candidates running for a certain number of positions. Positions are filled by candidates who receive the greatest number of votes. SNTV is a system that puts political parties directly into conflict with each other. For example, in a district that contains four seats, a candidate with just over 20% of the citizens' votes will win the election.

On the other hand, if for example a candidate from the political party manages to receive 40% of the votes and another candidate from the same party manages to receive only 10% of the votes, then the candidate who received only 10% risks possibility of not being elected.
