If two candidates get equal votes what is the situation called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Tie

The correct answer is A: the situation is called a tie. A tie occurs when two candidates receive the same number of votes, so neither has more votes than the other at that point. The election authority must then follow the relevant legal procedure for resolving or reporting the tied result; the exact remedy depends on the applicable rules. Option B, majority, is wrong because a majority means more votes than another candidate or the required opposing total, not equal votes. Option C, repoll, is wrong because equal votes alone do not automatically mean that polling was defective or that a repoll must occur. Option D, counting, names the process used to total votes, not the result of equality. Memory cue: equal result = tie; counting is the process, majority means more.
