Why is it significant that Hitler was technically "elected" into power?

Answer:

Since he was "technically elected" this means that people cannot go against his word. They cannot overthrow him as this would be a hostile takeover and illegal.

Technically, no. Hitler himself was not elected at all. But the Nazi party achieved some degree of electoral success, leading ultimately to Hitler's appointment as chancellor.
