Technically, in the United States, if no party gets the majority of electoral votes (lets say 51%)

If there are 3 candidates to split the vote (all roughly 33%, it is less than 51%). Then no one wins.

This results would be decided by the house of representatives voting on the top 3 candidates. If no one wins still, then it goes to the senate. If no one wins still, then I have no clue, but I am guessing it recycles back to House of representatives and then senate

Thats why the US has 2 major parties today rather than like 15.

This actually happened in 1824 where there were 4 major candidates. Despite Andrew Jackson recieving both popular support and the most states, the presidency was decidedly to be given to John Quincy Adams
