==Ưu điểm==
===Bảo đảm nguyên tắc Mỗi Người Một Phiếu ===
Plurality is often conflated with [[Single-winner voting systems]] in general, in order to contrast it with [[Proportional representation]]. See the advantages there for other advantages of plurality in this context, such as regionalism and accountability.
Hệ thống bầu cử này chủ yếu dựa trên việc bảo đảm nguyên tắc Mỗi Người Một Phiếu (Tiếng Anh: OMOV - one man, one vote.)
===Liên kết với khu vực bầu cử ===
===Preservation of One Person One Vote principle===
Hệ thống này không yêu cầu các khu vực bầu cử có nhiều hơn một thành viên như các hệ thống đại diện tỉ lệ. Chính điều này làm cho mối quan hệ giữa cử tri và đại diện của họ, và trách nhiệm của đại diện với cử tri được chú trọng hơn.
The arguments for a plurality voting system rely on the preservation of the "one person, one vote" principle (often shortened to [[OMOV]] for "one man, one vote" or more recently "one member, one vote"), as cited by the [[Supreme Court of the United States]], wherein each voter is only able to cast one vote in a given election, where that vote can only go to one candidate. Plurality voting systems elect the candidate who is preferred first by the largest number of voters. Other voting systems, such as [[Instant-runoff voting]] or [[Single Transferable Vote]] also preserve [[OMOV]], but rely on lower voter preference to arrive at a candidate earning either [[absolute majority]] or [[Droop Quota|droop quota]], respectively.
===Sự tiết chế===
Ở hệ thống đầu phiếu đa số tương đối, cử tri thường không muốn bầu cho những ứng viên trông khó thắng cử, và họ bỏ phiếu cho những ứng viên họ thích và có cơ hội thắng nhất. Do vậy, ứng viên thắng thường có thái độ tương đối trung dung hơn.
However, proponents of other systems, such as approval voting, point out that the OMOV principle was made to control the magnitude of districts; that each district must be relatively in proportion to one another in population. Approval voting does not actually represent some voters more than others, so the OMOV principle would be a weak one to discount it on. In any case, it could be argued approval voting grants one vote for each candidate to each voter - which they may choose not to cast, and cannot vote cumulate on one candidate.
===The Constituency Link===
Plurality voting does not require constituencies to be more than single member, whereas most proportional systems do. The fewer representatives are elected from an area, the smaller the division may be. A small constituency, as opposed to a large multiple member one, allegedly holds various advantages, including the concentration of the representative-voter link and the relationship of accountability. Additionally, in countries such as Israel where the whole country is treated as a single constituency and representatives are selected by party-lists, the constituency link is lost altogether.
===Moderation===
Some other voting systems can end giving a higher chance of victory to a candidate perceived as having extreme views. Under a first-past-the-post system, voters are often afraid of "wasting" their vote on a candidate unlikely to win, so they cast their vote towards their most preferable choice possible of victory. Advocates of plurality voting suggest that this results in most candidates having to field a fairly moderate or centrist position. This is debated by advocates of other systems, who argue that [[preferential voting]] or [[range voting]] systems, by getting more information from voters, allow a more rigorous definition of the word "moderate" and can be designed to explicitly favor candidates fitting that description.
