Answer Details
A candidate who wins election by a simple majority must have been voted for by a majority of the voters. This means that the candidate received more votes than any other candidate in the election. In a simple majority system, the candidate with the most votes is declared the winner, even if they did not receive more than half of the total votes cast. For example, if there are three candidates in an election, a candidate who receives 40% of the votes could win by a simple majority if the other two candidates received 30% and 30% respectively.
