Write a program Election that computes the tally in a write-in election, and announces the winner. Since the votes are write-in, there is no pre-determined set of candidates. Whoever appears the most in the votes is the winner. The user enters the individual votes, one vote per line, and ends entering with typing -1 or an empty line. To compute the tally, the program uses two arrays, a String [ ] variable (names), and an int [ ] variable (count). Upon receiving a single vote, the program checks if the name on the vote appears in names, and if it does, the program adds 1 to the value of the element in count. If the name does not appear in names, the program extends both arrays by one element, stores the name in names at the last position and store 1 in count at the last position. In this manner, the two arrays will have the same lengths. The initial length is 0 for both arrays.

There are two types of primary elections. In a Presidential primary election, voters registered with a political party select the candidate who will represent that party on the ballot in the next general election in November. In its statewide primary, California now has a Top Two Open Primary system, which means that all candidates running for state constitutional, U.S. Congressional, and state legislative offices will be listed on a single statewide primary election ballot. Voters can vote for the candidate of their choice for these offices, regardless of how they are registered. The top two candidates, as determined by the voters, will advance to the general election in November.

In a Presidential primary election, if you are registered to vote with a political party, you will be given a ballot for that party. Each political party has the option of allowing decline-to-state voters to vote in their Presidential primary. Find out how to vote for President based on your party affiliation.
