Examples of Political Patronage.

The most commonly used systems are the plurality system and the two round system for single winner elections, such as a presidential election, and party-list proportional representation for the election of a legislature. Examples of directly elected bodies are the European Parliament and the United States Senate. By contrast, in an indirect election, the voters elect a body which in turn elects the officeholder in question. An example is the US Electoral College, whose delegates are elected by voters and in turn elect the next President.
