Voting can use different systems with different outcomes. From list, people can choose one alternative. If more than half the voters select one choice, it wins. If no choice has more than half the vote, choice with most votes can win, or runoff can select between the two choices with most votes. People can indicate preference order {proportional voting}. Vote counting weights preference order and selects most popular overall.
