The electoral system used in Nigeria is primarily based on _______

  1. proportional representation
  2. mixed-member proportional
  3. first-past-the-post ✓
  4. preferential voting

Explanation

Nigeria uses first-past-the-post voting. This means whoever gets the most votes in a district wins, even without a majority.

Proportional representation gives seats based on vote percentages. The other systems combine different voting methods.

First-past-the-post is simple but can lead to winners who most people did not vote for.
