Plurality voting: International examples, Overview & Plurality voting procedures

Plurality voting is an electoral system in which the candidates in an electoral district who poll more than any other (that is, receive a plurality or relative majority) are elected. In other words, the rule establishes that obtaining a plurality is sufficient to win the election, since a majority (absolute majority) is not required.
