What does “plurality” mean?
Plurality usually means relative majority. It is something that has the largest share. The Americans generally consider it to not be a majority. Plurality all around is also better known as Plurality voting system, or also the “First Past the Post”. It is a simple process where the candidate who is voted is the one that is chosen by the majority. In religious councils plurality is referred to a substitute organisation of church management. In this system the decisions of the neighbourhood assembly is formed by the democracy of a grown-up individual (men) held in identical position. He is an individual who is in disparity to the “singularity” of the bishop chain of command or the pastor who is from the Protestant churches. This system is mostly found and positive among Presbyterians, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ, Plymouth Brethren, and some Apostolics.

In this context it means “more votes than anybody else who ran.” In an election in which there are more than two choices (as there usually are if you include Libertarian and other minor-party candidates), a plurality is the number of votes cast for the winning choice, even if that number is less than 50 percent. Most electoral laws for national, state and local elections in the United States say the winner is the candidate who gets the plurality. A few states require a majority in some elections: for instance in Louisiana, elections for governor, attorney general and other state offices have an all-inclusive primary as round one of the voting. If no candidate gets a majority in that first round, then the top two vote-getters, no matter what party they belong to, proceed to a final round.
