A. Absolute majority
B. Simple majority
C. proportional representation
D. indirect election
Correct Answer:
Option C – proportional representation
Explanation
Proportional representation (PR) characterizes electoral systems in which divisions in an electorate are reflected proportionately in the elected body. If n% of the electorate support a particular political party, then roughly n% of seats will be won by that party. The essence of such systems is that all votes contribute to the result – not just a plurality, or a bare majority.
