“Anyone know how these ‘rounds’ of voting works?
Does it mean half of the districts have yet to vote?”
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%.
Thanks, that does make sense. Even though it’s France, I figured there had to be some logic behind their voting system.
