Which are variants of the plurality or majoritarian electoral system?
- 1. Open party-list system
- 2. Alternative Vote (AV)
- 3. Supplementary Vote (SV)
- 4. Second-ballot system
A1, 2 and 3
B1, 2 and 4
C2, 3 and 4 ✓ Correct
D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (C) 2, 3 and 4 — Items 2, 3 and 4 are variants of the majoritarian or plurality family, so the answer is 2, 3 and 4.
Explanation
★Items 2, 3 and 4 are variants of the majoritarian or plurality family, so the answer is 2, 3 and 4.
★The Alternative Vote is a majoritarian preferential system.
★The Supplementary Vote is a related majoritarian method.
★The second-ballot system is a majoritarian two-round method.
★Item 1 is wrong, because the open party-list system is a method of proportional representation.
★Proportional representation is a separate family from plurality systems.
★So only the open party-list system does not belong here.
