Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Under the plurality rule, the candidate who receives the most votes wins, regardless of whether they receive a majority (more than half) of the votes. Therefore, the candidate only needs to receive more votes than any other candidate to win. Options A, B, and D are not correct because they require a majority or all of the votes, while option E is not necessarily true in all cases as it depends on the number of candidates running.
