Answer Details
When no candidate in an election receives an absolute majority (more than 50% of the votes), then a second round of voting may be held, called a second ballot. In the second ballot, only the two candidates with the highest number of votes in the first round are eligible to participate, and the winner is the candidate who receives the most votes in this second round. This is considered the most viable option when no absolute majority is obtained in the first round of elections, as it allows voters to choose between the two most popular candidates and ensures that the winner has the support of a majority of voters.
