First past the post or FPTP is also known as Simple Majority Voting . Hence statement 1 is correct. In this system the Winner-takes-all voting or Plurality voting system is followed. The candidate with the highest number of votes in a constituency is declared the winner . The winning candidate need not secure a majority of the votes . Hence statement 2 is not correct. There is no minimum threshold limit to cross. It allows the candidate to win despite securing less than half the votes in a contest. The country is divided into small geographical units called constituencies or district . Every constituency elects one representative . Hence statement 3 is correct. Voter votes for a candidate. A party may get more seats than votes in the legislature . Smaller parties representing specific groups have a lower chance of being elected in FPTP.
