Multi-member Districts

Multi-member districts are electoral areas that elect more than one representative to a legislative body. Instead of choosing a single candidate, voters in these districts select multiple candidates, often through proportional representation or block voting systems. This approach allows for greater diversity of representation within the district and can better reflect the preferences of different groups. Multi-member districts are commonly used in various government systems to promote fairness and give voters more options, enhancing overall democratic participation.
