Plurality and majority systems

The plurality system is the simplest means of determining the outcome of an election. To win, a candidate need only poll more votes than any other single opponent; he need not, as required by the majority formula, poll more votes than the combined opposition. The more candidates contesting a constituency seat, the greater the probability that the winning candidate will receive only a minority of the votes cast. Countries using the plurality formula for national legislative elections include Canada, Great Britain, India, and the United States. Countries with plurality systems usually have had two main parties.

Hey mate

Here is your answer:

simple \: plurality

: A plurality vote describes the circumstance when a candidate or proposition polls more votes than any other but does not receive more than half of all votes cast.

For example, if 100 votes were cast, including 45 for Candidate A, 30 for candidate B and 25 for Candidate C, then Candidate A received a plurality of votes but not a majority. In some votes, the winning candidate or proposition may have only a plurality, depending on the rules of the organisation holding the vote.

majority

: A majority voting system is an electrol system in which the winner of an election is the candidate that received more than half of the vote cast. In the event that no candidate wins an outright majority, a runoff election is held between the top two vote getters. For this reason, majority system are sometimes referred to as two - round system.
