6 mins confidence: 
single party election Explanation: Surely it can't mean just one person on the list? There would be no need for an election! I can only assume it refers to a single political party but wait for other suggestions. |

The Plurality Voting System( Single winner voting ) Explanation: Plurality voting system The plurality voting system is a single-winner voting system often used to elect executive officers or to elect members of a legislative assembly which is based on single-member constituencies. The most common system, used in Canada, India, the UK, and the United States, is simple plurality, first past the post or winner-takes-all. In this voting system the single winner is the person with the most votes; there is no requirement that the winner gain an absolute majority of votes. [1] In some countries such as France (as well as in some jurisdictions of the United States, such as Louisiana and Georgia) a similar system is used, but there are two rounds: the "two-ballot" or "runoff election" plurality system. If any candidate in the first round gains a majority of votes, then there is no second round; otherwise, the two highest-voted candidates of the first round compete in a two-candidate second round or all candidates above a certain threshold in the first round compete in a two-, three- or four-candidate second round. An example of a plurality ballot. In political science, the use of the plurality voting system alongside multiple, single-winner constituencies to elect a multi-member body is often referred to as single-member district plurality or SMDP. [2] Plurality voting is also variously referred to as winner-takes-all or relative/simple majority voting; however, these terms can also refer to elections for multiple winners in a particular constituency using bloc voting. The works of Arend Lijphart use the term "majoritarian" systems, where a plurality voting system is one of the defining variables [3] . These terms are thus sometimes used almost synonymously.
