Featured issue: Electoral systems in the United States
The termelectoral system can refer to the method by which elections are conducted (e.g., whether officials are elected insingle-winner versusmulti-winner systems) or the method by which votes are tallied to determine the outcome of an election (e.g.,plurality systems,majority systems,ranked-choice voting systems, etc.). In the United States, most federal and state-level officials are elected via plurality vote in single-winner elections, although some jurisdictions (e.g., cities, school boards, etc.) employ alternative electoral systems.To learn more about electoral systems in the United States, seethis article.

Redistricting
Redistricting is the process by which new congressional and state legislative district boundaries are drawn. All United States representatives and state legislators are elected from political divisions called districts. Redistricting is a closely contested issue, primarily due to gerrymandering, the practice of drawing district lines to favor one political party, individual, or constituency over another.
