In lugnet.off-topic.debate, Scott Arthur writes:

Hitler was never elected chancellor. He never had more than ~35% of the vote.

He was appointed chancellor by Hindenburg, despite the relative majority
vote, because other options were voided (other parties were unable to form
stable coalitions or fronts against NSDAP).
So, in a way he WAS elected. There isn't an absolute need for a majority in
parliament to form government, even though it helps a lot.
