Mixed-member proportional systems combine elements of both first-past-the-post and proportional representation, allowing for a mix of constituency-based and party-list seats.

Post-conflict societies often face a combination of challenges, including lack of institutional capacity, political instability, and limited resources, which can hinder the effective implementation of electoral reforms.

Single-member district plurality systems, also known as first-past-the-post, tend to produce two-party systems or dominant-party systems, leading to greater stability and reduced political fragmentation.

Proportional representation systems aim to ensure that the composition of the legislature reflects the diversity of the population, leading to increased representation of minority groups, reduced ethnic tensions, and enhanced democratic legitimacy.

First-past-the-post electoral systems are often used in single-member constituencies, where the candidate with the most votes wins, even if they do not receive a majority.

Two-round electoral systems can lead to increased campaign costs, potential for political polarization, and risk of electoral violence, particularly in post-conflict societies with fragile political institutions.

Proportional representation electoral systems aim to ensure that the number of seats won by each party is proportional to the number of votes they receive, leading to a more representative legislature.

Mixed-member proportional electoral systems combine the advantages of both first-past-the-post and proportional representation, promoting inclusivity, representation of diverse groups, and political stability.

Two-round electoral systems involve multiple rounds of voting, where the top two candidates from the first round proceed to a second round to determine the winner.

Single non-transferable vote electoral systems can lead to limited representation of minority groups, increased risk of vote splitting, and potential for electoral manipulation, particularly in post-conflict societies with fragile political institutions.

Ranked-choice voting electoral systems allow voters to rank candidates in order of preference, and seats are allocated based on these preferences, ensuring that the most preferred candidates are elected.

First-past-the-post electoral systems are relatively simple and easy to implement, making them a practical choice for post-conflict societies with limited resources and institutional capacity.

First-past-the-post electoral systems are often used in single-member constituencies, where the candidate with the most votes wins, even if they do not receive a majority.
