TOPIC: Confused between Majority & Plurality methods of Voting

Hello All,
I'm really confused with the definitions of Majority vs Plurality methods of voting as they are specified in PMBOK and RMC

Majority I understand is - Group chooses a decision that more than half of its members support
but Plurality - Group go with the decision that has larges number of supporters .. isn't it the same as Majority then?

Thank you in advance for your response

A majority is more than 50%, but if you have more than two issues it changes.
If issues one takes 40% and issue two takes 20%, and issue three takes 30%, there is no majority of greater than 50%. Thus the greater plurality is Issue one at 40%.
In sum, a plurality requires more than two. You can think of voting when you have multiple candidates.
Make sense?

Thank you ! Yes that makes sense .. So plurality applies when majority cannot be applied ! Is that correct statement?

Yes, or stated another way, a plurality applies with more than two views.

Thank you so much... Now I got it

Thanks for the clarification. Clearly explained about Majority and plurality
