3.13 Runoff Method (the two-round majority system)

With the runoff method, candidates are expected to gain a majority of votes (or absolute majority) to be declared the winner. By majority of votes, we mean receiving more than 50% of total votes. If no candidate receives the required number of votes (an absolute majority), then all but the two candidates receiving the most votes, are eliminated, and a second round of voting (runoff) occurs.
