Plurality voting

Question

Plurality voting

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plurality voting, where the candidate with the most votes wins regardless of whether they have more than half of the votes, is the predominant system used in U.S. House and Senate elections. Majority voting, which requires a candidate to receive more than half of the votes to win, is different from plurality voting and is not typically required in these elections. Runoff elections are not a requirement of plurality voting systems; they are more associated with majority voting systems when no candidate achieves the necessary majority.
