Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation

The simple plurality electoral system, also known as the First-Past-The-Post (FPTP) system, is used in countries like the United Kingdom and Nigeria (for legislative elections).

Under this system:

• The candidate with the highest number of votes wins.

• The winner does not need more than 50% of the total votes.

• They only need more votes than any other candidate.

A major criticism is that:

A candidate can win with less than half of the total votes, especially when there are many candidates. For example:

• Candidate A – 35%

• Candidate B – 33%

• Candidate C – 32%

Candidate A wins, even though 65% of voters preferred someone else.

This means the winner may lack an absolute majority, which can raise questions about representativeness.
