Plurality voting fails to satisfy the Condorcet winner criterion (CWC).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Condorcet winner criterion (CWC) states that if there is a candidate who would win a head-to-head matchup against each of the other candidates, then that candidate should be the overall winner. Plurality voting may not always elect the Condorcet winner, as it is possible for a candidate to win with fewer overall votes but lose in head-to-head matchups against other candidates. Therefore, plurality voting fails to satisfy the CWC.
