Many countries used to rely on an electoral college in order to get public officials elected, however, this system has been criticized for it has been perceived of as unfair in the event of a slight majority in an electoral district overruling the votes of a great number of citizens. At a first glance, it seems to run counter to the intuitive concept of democracy, i.e., the government elected by the majorities. IN the history of the U.S. there have been two or three presidential elections won by the candidate holding the majority of the electoral colleges yet failing to obtain the absolute majority of votes.
A solution often proposed to change this is the system of direct election. Under this system, candidates running for public office can only win provided that they manage to get the absolute majority of votes cast. Statistics on the number of votes per candidate and vote ratios are usually made for informational purposes, however, they are irrelevant to determine the final outcome.
