Explain the difference between a single member district seat and an at large seat?
Single Member voting is simply what we do when we cast our vote for a particular candidate. The winner is the one with the most votes. There is no need to make a certain percentage in order to win
At Large Voting is when there would be more than one seat voted on: for example 5 open seats in an election. Usually along the lines of a school board or other types of municipal elections.

JordanA single-member district is an arrangement in which the voters in each district elect one of the State's representatives from among a field of candidates running for a seat in the House from that district. An at-large seat is a seat that is elected from the state as a whole, rather than from a particular district.
