majority (in a first-past-the-post election)
A plurality, relative majority or simple majority is the largest share of something, which may or may not be considered a majority, i.e. it is the largest group/category, but is not necessarily a majority (more than half). In the U.S., simple majority has another meaning. The plurality voting system, also known as "First past the post", elects the candidate who is the stated first choice of the plurality of voters.
