=== Plurality rules === A common alternative to the majority rule is the [[plurality-rule family]] of voting rules, which includes [[Instant-runoff voting|ranked choice voting (RCV)]], [[two-round plurality]], and [[first-preference plurality]]. These rules are often used in elections with more than two candidates. Such rules elect the candidate with the most votes after applying some voting procedure, even if a majority of voters would prefer some other alternative.<ref name="Tyranny" /><ref name="Proximity">{{cite journal |last1=Aubin |first1=Jean-Baptiste |last2=Gannaz |first2=Irène |last3=Leoni-Aubin |first3=Samuela |last4=Rolland |first4=Antoine |title=A simulation-based study of proximity between voting rules |date=July 2024 |url=https://hal.science/hal-04631154/}}</ref>
