Answer:
137 votes
Step-by-step explanation:
considering an election with 681 votes and 5 candidates up for the election
dividing the votes among'st 5 candidates
= 681 / 5 = 136.2 hence the least number of first-place votes needed by a candidate using the plurality method would be = 137 votes
136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 + 136.2 = 681 ( dividing the votes equally )
136 + 136 + 136 + 136+136 = 680
hence the remaining vote = 681 - 680 = 1
least first-place vote = 136 + 1 = 137 votes
-12
