Margins can refer to the measure of defeat strength for Category:Pairwise counting-based voting methods, or more generally to the difference in amount of something (usually a vote total) between two things. For example, if candidate A has 30 votes and B has 29 votes, then A has a margin of 1 vote over B.
In the two-candidate case, both Score voting and FPTP (or voting methods equivalent to them in the two-candidate case) will yield the same margins when all voters are strategic.
