Calculate the percentage vote share of a candidate from their votes and the total number of votes cast.
$$\text{Share (%)} = \frac{C}{T} \times 100$$
Where C = candidate votes, T = total votes.
Vote share is the percentage of total votes received by a candidate or party. It is the standard metric for comparing electoral performance across constituencies of different sizes.
Not necessarily. In plurality (first-past-the-post) systems, the candidate with the most votes wins regardless of absolute share. In proportional systems, seat allocation is based on vote share.
Yes. Enter the number of respondents who chose a particular option as "candidate votes" and the total survey respondents as "total votes".
