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.
