Usage Note

Pluralità is invariable in the plural — le pluralità keeps its accent and final -à unchanged, like all Italian nouns ending in a stressed vowel. In electoral contexts it means a simple majority (pluralità di voti), not necessarily more than half; contrast maggioranza assoluta for an absolute majority.
