There has been a concern on whether there is sufficient info to say 'Jaha was voted into position'. I gathered the info:

References in S1:
 * S01E02: Abby: "the Chancellor that I voted for"
 * S01E07, Chancellor Jaha addressing the Arks representatives Says: "As of this morning, there's an open seat on the council. Mine to fill until the next election."
 * S01E07, Jaha and former Chancellor Diana conversation: "My people are angry and confused.", "Your people?" .. "My people voted you out"
 * S01E11: "So what do we tell our constituents to do now?"

Additionally:
 * Chancellor is the head of the government in some European countries, such as Germany. In intrview it was stated that this is part of a theme to show that the Ark multinational origins.
 * In the original script there was a cut scene in which, which it says our "elected leader"

Since we see that Chancellor on the Ark are voted in elections in a system with constituents. That Abby voted for jaha as Chancellor, and his predecessor was voted out by his people. And there is nothing to suggest the contrary.

I think it's enought to substantiated that he was, or at the very least a common form of conjecture on this wiki. Is there any objection to state that Jaha was voted in ?
