The ratio of yes votes to no votes in an election was to . How many yes votes were cast if there were a total of votes cast?
Percentages and decimals are used to calculate the number of votes and to see if there is a majority government.
50 percent plus one mean is a term used to denote the minimum number of votes required for an election or to pass a motion. For example if a 100 votes are cast , (100 *.50) plus 1 would result in 51 votes being the requirement.
A simple majority, more accurately called a plurality, can be any percentage as long as it is the highest percentage of votes. An absolute majority is usually any number of votes that is more than 50% of all votes cast, but there are variations. For example, the US Constitution specifies that to win a presidential election, one needs not just a majority of the votes cast; the winner needs the votes of a majority of the appointed electors. So if all 538 electors are appointed but only 270 of them vote, 100% of the 270 votes are needed to win.

The number of electors is based on the number of house members for the state. Getting the office of president is a math problem and with the right combination of states a person reaches the number of 270 votes.
The candidate who wins the greatest number of popular votes in any state usually receives all of that state's electoral votes. To win the presidency, a candidate must pay special attention to those states with large populations. The larger the state's population, the more electoral votes it has.
George Washington received 100% of the electoral votes and was unanimously reelected President in 1792. In the 1984 election Ronal Regan received 525 (97.58%) of the 538 electoral votes and was reelected President.
With popular elections, where he must get at least one vote more than 50% of all the votes. If no candidate gets a majority in the first election circle, only two candidates that got the greatest number of votes compete in the second circle, and people choose between them. President is elected for 5 year term.
Politicians rely on the votes of consumers to keep them in office.
