Second Preference (2nd)

Second preference (2nd) typically refers to an option or choice that is not the top priority but is still important. In various contexts, such as voting or decision-making, it allows individuals to express an alternative preference if their first choice is unavailable. For example, in a voting scenario, if a person's first choice does not receive enough support to win, their second choice may be considered to help determine the outcome. This approach ensures that more voices are heard and can lead to a more representative result, balancing the interests of different groups.
