Focusing on current political terms – by CACP – Web site – www.cacp.info - jnl

Plurality – A plurality consists of sufficient votes to win an election, but not necessarily a majority. If there is more than one candidate running for the same office in an election it is possible for a candidate to win an election with fewer than 50% of the votes cast even though it is not 50% plus one of all the votes. For a more comprehensive discussion of this term refer to the source cited.

            The Constitution provides that the People of the several States chose their Representatives for the national, state and local elections according to their own laws.  Therefore, the States, not the National Government, make their own laws as to how their Representatives will be chosen.
