Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tie-breaking power means that the individual has the ability to break a tie, which suggests that they may determine the winner when there is a tie on the initial ballot. Options A and D are incorrect because tie-breaking power does not guarantee that the individual will get their preferred candidate or become the winning candidate. Option B is also incorrect because tie-breakers are not limited to voting only in tie situations.
