Explanation:

• Personal characteristics refer to an individual's traits like personality, skills, etc., not a voting - based selection system.
• Majority rule is a principle where the option (in this case, a person for a government position) with the most votes wins. This matches the description of people being chosen based on receiving the most votes.
• Political contests is a very broad term that just refers to competitions in the political arena but does not specifically denote the rule of selecting based on the most votes.

majority rule
