This varies.
In some cases where there are several contestants the person with the most votes wins even if it is just one vote more than the others and less than half the total votes.
In some cases where there are only two politician's, the one with more than 50% of the votes wins.
In some cases The votes are counted, the lowest number is eliminated and then there is another vote until either 1 has more than %50 or there are two in the last vote.
And finally in some strange places no one is elected unless they get certain minimum number of votes or certain percentage. In some cases it would be a minimum of 65% to make certain the population actually wants that person.
