Write a program to find the winner of election. each similar element of an array is treated as a candidate

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
void winnerSelect(int a[], int size, int max)
{
    int i;
    int maxVote,winCandidate;


    int *candidate;
    candidate=(int*)malloc(sizeof(int)*max);
    for(i=0;i<=max;i++)
    {
        candidate[i]=0;
    }
    maxVote=0;
    winCandidate=a[0];
    for(i=0;i<size;i++)
    {
        candidate[a[i]]++;
        if(candidate[a[i]]>maxVote)
            {
                maxVote=candidate[a[i]];
                winCandidate=a[i];
            }
    }
    printf("Max vote: %d\nWinner candidate : %d\n",maxVote,winCandidate);
    free(candidate);
}


int main()
{
    int a[]={10,12,11,23,23,12,12,11,11,34};
    int size = sizeof(a)/sizeof(int);
    int max=0,i;
    for(i=0;i<size;i++)
    {
        if(a[i]>max)
            max=a[i];
        else
            max=max;
    }
    winnerSelect(a,size,max);
    printf("Size: %d  Max : %d",size,max);
}
