Array not being assigned correct value.

vkosty (4)
My objective in this assignment is to enter votes for each politician based on user input of votes. The part that is currently giving me problems is where I am trying to get the array percentageOfVotes to be assigned the correct value by having the (vote / totalVotes) * 100. Every time I run the program, the value for each percentageOfVotes always comes up as 0. Please explain why and how I can fix.
