Question

In some democratic nations, citizens use a system of elections where if no one candidate gets more than 50 percent of the votes, everyone is eliminated except for the top two contenders. Citizens then vote again and may select either of the top two candidates. This is an example of a ________ election

Answer 1

Answer:

two rounds

Explanation:

In systems where there are two-round election, the first round is held with all fit candidates. If no candidate gets more than half of the votes (50% + 1), a second round shall be taken, that is, a second vote between the two top-ranked candidates in the first round. Thus, citizens must vote again to make their choice between the two candidates. In Brazil, for example, there are two-round elections.
