WAEC - Government (2017 - No. 38)
The electoral system in which the winner should have more than all the votes of all the other contestants put together is called
simple majority system
referendum
second ballot system
absolute majority system
Forklaring
In this electoral system, a candidate must secure more votes than the combined total of all other candidates' votes to be declared the winner. This means the winner needs to obtain over 50% of the total votes cast. This system is more demanding than a simple majority, as it requires a more definitive level of support from the electorate.
