plurality method
this method of determining the “winner” of a compet-tion or election is common in many of the countries around the world that vote for their leaders. unlike the “majority method” that requires 50% or more of the votes to win, the plurality method relies only on the winner to have the most percentage of a vote.
here is one example of the plurality method in work.
three candidates are running for office in a small community. roughly 1000 people cast votes on election day; after the votes are tallied,
candidate a receives 34% of the votes,
candidate b receives 30% of the votes,
candidate c receives 36% of the votes.
none of the candidates received 50% to win in a majority vote. however, candidate c would have won because he/she gained the largest percentage of the votes.
