French elections for the National Assembly are based upon a majority approach to voting rather than a plurality approach as in Britain or the United States.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In French National Assembly elections, a majority voting system is used, where a candidate must receive more than half of the votes to be elected in the first round. If no candidate achieves this, a second round is held with only the top candidates, ensuring the winner has a majority. This differs from the plurality (or "first-past-the-post") systems used in Britain and the United States, where the candidate with the most votes wins, regardless of whether they have a majority.
