It looks like there was no bid for these games, which could be the new standard going forward. There was a simple yes/no vote and there were enough yes votes to award the hosting rights.
From wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bids_f...ummer_Olympics

"The IOC also modified the Olympic Charter to increase its flexibility by removing the date of election from seven years before the games and changing the host as a city from a single city/region/country to multiple cities, regions, or countries."


The German group that wanted Rhine Ruhr to host the games are upset with this new bidding process.
