I think +50% of "Eligible" voters to win. If not enough voters show
up the election is not counted and the person in office steps aside.

Most election laws provide that a person remains in office until "his
successor be qualified." This means that when no election is held, or no one
wins, or an ineligible candidate prevails, the current office holder
continues in office.

There have been more than a few instances in which a dead person was
elected, so the situation is not that unusual.
