On what basis is the winning candidate determined?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Highest number of valid votes

Correct answer: A, the highest number of valid votes. In a constituency using the usual plurality or first-past-the-post method, the candidate with more valid votes than any other candidate is declared elected, subject to the applicable election rules. The comparison is based on counted valid votes, not on how much publicity a candidate received. B is wrong because speeches can communicate ideas but do not themselves become votes. C is wrong because the number of posters measures campaign activity, not voter support recorded in the count. D is wrong because public meetings also show campaigning effort, not the legally counted choice of voters. Invalid or rejected votes are not treated as valid support for a candidate. Memory cue: the count decides the winner, and the count is of valid votes—not speeches, posters, or meetings.
