The plurality-with-elimination method is a voting system used to determine a single winner in an election with multiple candidates. In this method, voters rank candidates in order of preference. The candidate with the most first-choice votes is initially considered the winner. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest first-choice votes is eliminated, and their votes are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on the next preference of those voters. This process continues until one candidate receives a majority of votes and is declared the winner.

A political party system that is considered fair and allows the winner to receive more than 50% of the vote is often a majoritarian system, such as a two-round system or a ranked-choice voting system. In a two-round system, if no candidate achieves a majority in the first round, a second round is held between the top candidates, ensuring that the eventual winner has broad support. Ranked-choice voting allows voters to rank candidates, enabling a winner to emerge with a majority after multiple rounds of elimination based on voter preferences. These systems aim to reflect a more representative outcome and reduce the likelihood of a winner being elected with only a plurality of votes.
