A pop vote is like choosing your favorite team in a big competition. Imagine you and your friends are picking the winner of a game, each person votes for their favorite player, and whoever gets the most votes wins. That's what happens in an election with a pop vote: people pick one candidate, and the person with the most votes wins.
Examples

- During a sports competition, each team picks one player they want to win, the player with the most votes is crowned champion.
- A class uses a pop vote to choose their favorite teacher of the year.
