In 1833, after electoral reform in 1832, the United Kingdom used the First Past The Post system (the candidate with the most votes wins, even if they do not have more than half of all the votes cast) to return members to the House of Commons, as it continues to do today.
However, in 1833, the vast majority of constituencies elected more than one Member of Parliament to the House of Commons. In these constituencies, every elector still had a single vote, but instead of just the candidate who wins the most votes being elected, the candidate who won the second highest number of votes won the second seat, the third highest won the third seat etc. This distorted representation in the House of Commons and had a profound impact on the electoral system. Furthermore, at the time, certain universities were entitled to elect Members to the House, a practice abolished in the 20th century.
In 1833, there were 658 Members of Parliament representing a total of 401 parliamentary constituencies - of these 401, 1 elected 4 Members, 7 elected 3 Members, 240 elected 2 Members and 153 elected a single Member.

We have a system of preferential voting. This means that you vote in order of preference. ie you place the number 1 behind your preferred candidate in case this candidate doesn't get enough votes to be elected you have the choice of putting your next preference behind another candidate and have that vote counted instead by placing the number 2 behind that candidates name and so on. This system of voting while seeming cumbersome is by far the fairest system of voting because it goes to great pains to see to it that every vote eventualy goes to either the winer or the runner up. Recently preferential voting has become optional.
the electoral college works like this the convention delegates settled on a system in which each state legislature would choose a number of electors. The electoral college would select the president and vice president.
Having to take time off work in order to vote is often referred to as a barrier to voting or disenfranchisement, as it may prevent individuals from exercising their right to participate in the democratic process due to work obligations. Some argue that making voting easier, such as implementing early voting or making Election Day a national holiday, could address this issue.
No, mandatory voting would never work in the United States.

1. The American electoral system tends to promote a two-party system because the prevalence of single-member districts and also Republicans and Democrats regularly act in bipartisan way and find common ground and work together there. Note: This can be found in chapter 5 section 2 on page 120 under 'The Electoral System' of the The California Prentice Hall Magruder's American Government book by William A. McClenaghan.

It doesn't work that way. The electoral votes are the final vote for president. The popular vote will either go for one party deciding who the electoral votes go to.
