How many first place votes are needed for a majority?
with 62 voters in the election
In order to determine the number of first place votes needed for a majority, we need to know the total number of votes.
If there are 62 voters in the election, then the majority threshold would be half of that number plus one vote.
Majority threshold = (Total number of voters / 2) + 1
= (62 / 2) + 1
= 31 + 1
= 32
Thus, in this election with 62 voters, a candidate would need at least 32 first place votes to achieve a majority.
