If two or more candidates have the same number of votes, then the tied candidates' names are ordered alphabetically and the last name in the alphabetical order wins. For example, votes are in the names [Joe', 'Mary', 'Mary', 'Joe']. Each candidate received two votes, but Mary is alphabetically later than Joe, so she wins.
