A two-party system is normally associated with first-past-the-post voting.
First-past-the-post voting
Plurality voting system also known as First past the post.
I realize this is a standard question on someone's test, but in reality first-past-the-post voting does not always produce two-party systems. Although concern over splitting the electorate tends to consolidate parties in such a system, resulting in two major parties, there are usually minor parties waiting in the wings to become one of the major parties. In Britain, this role was played by the Liberal party, who grew in the 1980s to become a serious voice in British politics and held the balance of power after the 2010 election. In Canada, one of the major parties, the Conservatives, were practically wiped out in the 1993 election and a regional party, the Bloc Québecois, became the second largest party, and again, in 2011, the New Democratic Party, a third party, overtook the Liberal party to become the second party in Parliament.
During an election.
A formal expression of preference for a candidate for office or for a proposed resolution of an issue. Voting is also a process. Normally citizens go to a designated voting place, sign a registrar that shows they have voted ( so no one can later commit voting fraud by voting as if they were the first citizen ). In the USA, the citizen is escorted to a voting machine and a curtain is drawn so the voting is confidential.
Kenya uses a mixed electoral system. It combines first-past-the-post voting for single-seat constituencies with proportional representation using the party-list system for multi-seat constituencies.

The United States has a first-past-the-post voting system, also known as a plurality system. In this system, voters select one candidate and the candidate with the most votes wins, regardless of whether they have a majority or not. This system is used in most elections, including those for the President and members of Congress.
The Electronic Voting System in the House of Representatives was used for the first time on January 23, 1973, 87 years after the first proposal to use an automated system to record votes was introduced.
