Question

differentiate between simple and absolute majority.

Answer 1

Absolute majority means of the voters plus one, simple majority means more voters in favour and against. In that case the difference between the two kinds of maturity is that some parties may be willing tough stain and always simple majority to be reached in the second vote.

Answer 2

Answer:

A "simple majority" may also mean a "relative majority", or a plurality. These two definitions would conflict when a "simple majority" (i.e. plurality) is not a "majority" (also see the disambiguation page for simple majority). An "absolute majority" may mean a majority of all electors, not just those who voted.
