majority electoral rule

Majority electoral rule is a method of making a decision or choosing a winner where the candidate or option that receives more than half of the votes wins. Essentially, if more than 50% of voters support a candidate, that candidate is selected. This system aims to reflect the preference of the greatest number of people, ensuring that the chosen option has broad support. It is commonly used in elections, such as choosing political leaders or passing legislation, to produce clear and decisive outcomes that represent the preference of the majority.
