c# - getting output variable from stored procedure

I have a simple stored procedure that I am using to retrieve the last recorded row in a table.  I am then trying to pick up that result in C# and store it in a variable to make some calculations on it.  The variable is zeroing out though and I'm not completely sure why as I have this block of code multiple times working successfully (not with this sort of stored procedure though.  I am providing both.

Thanks!

/*******************STORED PROCEDURE*********************/
Create PROCEDURE [dbo].[SelectLastPct] (
@candidate VARCHAR(50),
@pctOfVote FLOAT OUTPUT)
	
AS
BEGIN
	-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
	-- interfering with SELECT statements.
	SET NOCOUNT ON;

    
	SELECT  @pctOfVote = pctOfVote
	FROM tblCandidate
	WHERE ID = (SELECT MAX(ID) FROM tblCandidate)
	
	
	
END
