print(votesmorethanone)
print("Enter 1 or 2 only")
continue

votes.append(getCandidateData())
else:
return votes
except:
print("Enter 1 or 2 only")
continue

def electionResult(voting_data):
countVoting = {}
for data in voting_data:
if data[0] in countVoting:
countVoting[data[0]] += int(data[2])
else:
countVoting[data[0]] = int(data[2])
return countVoting

def getWinner(countVoting):
