An election system uses plurality voting. Which outcome inevitably increases when more candidates enter?

💡 Explanation

Vote splitting increases as more candidates enter a plurality election because the vote is divided among similar candidates, therefore, a candidate can win with a smaller percentage of the total vote, rather than requiring a majority.
