MMP is the system we use now to elect our Parliament. Each voter gets two votes. The first vote is for the political party the voter chooses. This is called the party vote. The second vote is to choose the MP the voter wants to represent the electorate they live in.
This system has also been used in Germany for over sixty years. MMP is also used in the UK but they call it AMS which stand for Additional member system . The Electorate MPs are elected using the First Past the Post voting system (FPP). The person who gets the most votes wins. The winning person does not have to get more than half the votes to win.
