Plurality voting is an electoral system in which the candidate who receives the most votes in an election wins. This system is often used in single-member district elections, where each constituency elects one representative. In a plurality voting system, it is not necessary for the winning candidate to achieve an absolute majority (more than 50% of the votes). Instead, the candidate with the highest number of votes—regardless of whether that number constitutes a majority of the total votes cast—wins.
