Simple plurality

Simple plurality is an electoral system where the candidate with the most votes wins, even if they don’t have more than half the total votes. For example, in an election with multiple candidates, the person with the highest number of votes is declared the winner. This system is straightforward and easy to understand, but it can sometimes lead to a candidate winning without a majority of support. It's commonly used in countries like the United Kingdom and the United States for various elections, including many parliamentary and congressional races.
