“The second and final round of voting takes place next Sunday.”
Anyone know how these ‘rounds’ of voting works?
Does it mean half of the districts have yet to vote?
Do people need to (legally) vote twice?
Perhaps it means real men can now vote in the second round*?
Can people who voted in the first round change that vote in the second round?
*in that case there’s no one left to vote for in the second round

Round 1 is roughly equivalent to primaries.
If someone gets over 50% they are elected, no second round.
If no candidate gets over 50% there is a second round and everyone who got 15% or higher is in round 2. Candidates can withdraw from the second round even if they got over 15%.
Think of it like a primary or a workable form of Ranked Choice voting
They have round one and if nobody gets over 50% then the weaker candidates are removed, and people vote for the top three or four.
Imagine if the coalitions that make up the US parties splintered and instead of the two broad coalitions you have eight or ten smaller parties working out temporary alliances.
