Do you have to have a majority of votes to win a federal election?
In a federal election in the United States, a candidate does not need to receive a majority of the popular votes to win. For example, in the Electoral College system used for presidential elections, a candidate only needs to secure a majority of electoral votes (at least 270 out of 538) to win. This means that a candidate can win the presidency by obtaining fewer than 50% of the popular vote, as seen in past elections.

What percentage of the popular vote does a candidate need?
In the United States, there is no specific percentage of the popular vote that a candidate needs to win in order to secure the presidency. However, winning the majority—more than 50%—of the popular vote generally indicates strong support. In practice, candidates can win the presidency by securing a majority of the Electoral College votes, which may not necessarily reflect the popular vote. For instance, a candidate can win the presidency with a plurality, meaning they receive more votes than any other candidate, even if it’s less than 50%.
