This is only true in the First Past The Post voting system, where if someone gets a majority they get the most power. Alternative voting means you can choose a 2nd or 3rd favourite, and if your favourite doesn't win, your vote counts to the 2nd favourite, and if that loses it will count to the 3rd.
