I consider a voting model in which voters receive private signals about a state variable that affects the utility of voters. There is a continuum of signals, normally distributed conditional on the state variable. I characterize a sufficient condition under which there does not exist any asymmetric equilibria. Therefore, for any plurality rule, the unique responsive equilibrium is symmetric.
