Each nominee receives two scores that range from 0 to 1:

The nominee, which could be any board member, must receive a majority of votes to win.

The final nominees received support from different member countries, which reflected the high caliber of the candidates.

In 2012, its presidential nominee received only 519 votes.

He said he hoped that the Administration "will not learn the wrong lesson" from the strong bipartisan support the nominee received.

To be elected, nominees must receive 75% of the vote from all ballots received.

If the nominee doesn't receive sufficient support, then a new round of negotiations and a second nomination by the President follows.

Nevertheless, not every nominee has received a floor vote in the Senate.

The nominee then presents a government platform and must receive a vote of confidence in order to become prime minister.

To keep the bar even lower, companies do not require nominees to receive most of the votes, just more than anybody who is running against them.
