Definition

A two-round electoral system, also known as runoff voting, is a voting method where if no candidate achieves a required majority in the first round, a second round is held between the top candidates. This system ensures that the winner has broad support, typically requiring a majority of votes in the final round.

Examples

• Double Ballot: Brazilian presidential elections
• Majority Runoff: French presidential elections
• Second Round Voting: Russian gubernatorial elections
