Two-round or Run-off Majoritarian Voting System in Election Law

System in which candidates run for a single seat in a constituency or district. An absolute majority is needed to obtain the seat. If no candidate in the constituency wins in the first round of voting, a second round is held in which only the two highest scoring candidates take part. The second-round winner is the candidate who obtains the highest number of votes. In some countries, more than two candiadtes can run in the second round if they get a certain percentage of votes.
