plural majority

Read a random definition: net operating loss

A quick definition of plural majority:

Plural Majority: This term means the same thing as "plurality." It refers to a situation where there are more than two options, and the option with the most votes is called the "plural majority." For example, if there are three candidates running for class president, and one candidate gets 40% of the votes, while the other two candidates get 30% and 20% of the votes, respectively, the candidate with 40% of the votes has the plural majority.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A plural majority is the same as a plurality. It refers to the situation where a candidate or option receives the most votes or support, but not necessarily a majority (more than 50%). Instead, they have the largest share of the vote or support compared to the other candidates or options.

Example: In an election with three candidates, Candidate A receives 40% of the votes, Candidate B receives 35%, and Candidate C receives 25%. Although Candidate A did not receive a majority of the votes (50%+), they have a plural majority because they received the largest share of the votes compared to the other candidates.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a plural majority works in an election scenario. Even though Candidate A did not receive more than 50% of the votes, they still won because they received the most votes compared to the other candidates. This is a common occurrence in elections with multiple candidates or options, where the winner is determined by who has the most votes, not necessarily a majority.
