Majority Rule Day, observed on January 10 in the Bahamas, commemorates the day in 1967 when the Progressive Liberal Party (PLP) won the general elections, marking the first time in Bahamian history that a party achieved majority rule. This event is significant as it represented a shift towards democratic governance and greater political representation for the Bahamian people. The day serves as a reminder of the importance of democratic principles and the power of the electorate in shaping their government.

Citizens who rule themselves by majority vote typically belong to democratic systems, where decisions are made through elections and referendums. In direct democracies, such as those seen in ancient Athens or modern-day Switzerland, citizens participate directly in decision-making.
