If the candidate with the most votes doesn't have a clear majority (i.e. more than 50% of the votes), then the candidate with the ''least'' votes is eliminated and the second preference of all the voters who voted for that candidate are counted.  This continues until one candidate has more than 50% of the votes.  In the U.S. this is referred to as "instant run-off voting", but is not used widely.

Another sort of election is the [[Electoral College]], used to select the U.S. president every 4 years. Each state gets a certain number of electors. All of a state's electors are assigned to whichever presidential candidate gets the most votes in that state. In all but a few instances, the candidate who gets the most electoral college votes has also gotten the most popular votes.
