Piggy isn't actually nominated as a leader, which is probably why nobody voted for him. Ralph, as the person who actually blew the conch, which called the boys to the meeting, was nominated by several boys who called out phrases such as "Him with the shell," etc. Jack nominated himself and his choir felt obliged to vote for him probably from a mixture of subservient loyalty and fear. In the end Ralph was elected because as leader by the rest of the boys who didn't know Jack and were probably a little annoyed by his arrogance also, as the book said, 'There was a stillness about Ralph which marked him out; there was his size, and attractive appearance; and most obscurely, yet most powerfully, there was the conch.'
