In a plurality rule electoral system, victory goes to:
A. The individual who may get less than 50% of the votes but more votes than the other candidates.
Here's a breakdown to explain this:
1. In a plurality system, the candidate with the highest number of votes wins the election, regardless of whether they receive an absolute majority (more than 50%) of the votes.
2. This means that a candidate can win by having the most votes among all candidates, even if they do not secure a majority.
3. Therefore, victory goes to the candidate who has the largest share of the votes, even if it is less than 50%.
This system is different from systems like the majority rule where a candidate needs to secure more than 50% of the votes to win.
