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

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

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?

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
