In an election, unless otherwise stated in your rules, a majority of votes cast is required to win an election.

How do you have 49 and one-half votes? Regardless, a majority is "more than half", so in this case it means more than 24 and 3/4 votes (half of 49 and 1/2).

I'm not really sure what you are asking in the first question... perhaps you can clarify.

If someone is running unopposed, the nominee can simply be declared elected by acclamation, so long as your bylaws do not require a vote by ballot. If a vote by ballot is required, it must be conducted, even if there is only one candidate.

If 49 and one-half votes are cast, anything more than 24.75 votes is a majority. If half-votes are the smallest increment you have, than a majority would be at least 25 votes.

Well, if someone is running unopposed, the proper procedure is to declare the candidate elected by acclamation, unless the assembly's rules require a ballot vote (without an exception for elections with one candidate) or the assembly orders a ballot vote. If a ballot vote is taken for either reason, the candidate must receive a majority vote, but people can't just vote "No." If they don't like the candidate, they can write-in someone else.

In some assemblies, the Bylaws provide that certain classes of members have fractional votes (usually one-half). This is most common in conventions.
