 Runoff voting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A simplified model of a two round system is the supplementary vote.
In a two round runoff, Knoxville and Chattanooga are eliminated, while Nashville and Memphis advance to the second ballot.
A two-round runoff voting system, in practice, may work as a system of primary elections in countries where there are two major partisan blocks, by choosing for the second round of election a candidate in each block.

 Voting system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Voting systems are methods (algorithms) for groups of people to select one or more options from many, taking into account the individual preferences of the group members.
A voting system may select only one option (usually a candidate, but also an option that represents a decision), in which case it is called a "single winner system", or it may select multiple options, for example candidates to fill an assembly or alternative possible decisions on the measure the ballot posed.
In a party list system, each voter votes for one party, and then a mathematical formula is used to approximately distribute the seats in the legislature in proportion to each party's share of the vote.

 Two-Round System   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Each name indicates the central feature of the system: that it is not one election, but takes place in two rounds, often a week or a fortnight apart.
The most common method, as used in the Ukraine, is for the second round of voting to be a straight "run-off" contest between the two highest vote-winners from the first round; this is called a majority-runoff system (see Ukraine - The Perils of Majoritarianism in a New Democracy).
Unlike straight majority-runoff, this system is not truly majoritarian, as there may be up to five or six candidates contesting the second round of elections.

 Behind the Ballot Box
Among other things, voting systems help to determine which officials are elected to run our governments, the variety of parties that voters have to choose from at the polls, how many citizens will turnout to vote, which citizens will or will not be represented in our legislatures, and whether the majority will rule.
Ultimately, the choice of voting system not only has a profound effect on the process of elections, but also on the degree to which a political system is fair, representative, and democratic.
Obviously systems that require multimember districts, such as proportional and semi-proportional systems, cannot be used to elect a single official.

 Lousiana Nonpartisan Primary System
In 1992, the 4th congressional district primary resulted in two Democrats reaching the runoff election (without Republican or third party candidate appearing on the November ballot), while the 6th congressional district resulted in two Republicans reaching the runoff election (without Democrats or third party candidates on the November ballot).
As a general rule, since only the top two finishers in the opening primary have had any chance to advance to a runoff election, it proved to be very difficult for minor party candidates to appear on Louisiana's November election ballot for federal and state elections.
Two American localities passed instant runoff voting ballot measures in 1998 and 1999.

Thereafter, the entire system is bootstrapped to higher levels by diverting some of the lunar materials delivered to the SMF into reaction mass for the MDRE fleet, permitting more rapid expansion of the system than would be possible if the only source of reaction mass were the Shuttle external tanks.
Eleven round trips are needed for the main base and two round trips for the downrange station; allowing three more trips between LLO and the surface for unforeseen contingencies, 896 tons of propellant are needed to start lunar surface operations.
A continuous, low-thrust propulsion system (such as the MDRE) is illsuited for orbital transfers between a circular orbit such as the LEO station and a highly eccentric orbit such as the 2:1 resonance orbit.

But when a system of religion is made to grow out of a supposed system of creation that is not true, and to unite itself therewith in a manner almost inseparable therefrom, the case assumes an entirely different ground.
The system of worlds next to us exhibits, in its revolutions, the same principles and school of science to the inhabitants of their system, as our system does to us, and in like manner throughout the immensity of space.
There may be many systems of religion that, so far from being morally bad, are in many respects morally good; but there can be but ONE that is true; and that one necessarily must, as it ever will, be in all things consistent with the ever-existing word of God that we behold in his works.

 Secular Ideology: A Review of Voting Systems
The above systems specify the existence of discrete votes; that is, a voter either votes for a party or does not, whether he does this once, as in PR, twice, as in two-round voting, or as many times as he likes on the same sheet, as in approval voting.
The system is somewhat more complicated to use, and to process, but most people are capable of adding up to 100 (if voting is carried out in percent), and a simple full-support tick box could be provided for those not comfortable with the system.
The system should thus be changed to allow them to exercise their democratic franchise in the way they see fit - they should be given the ability to use their vote, not for a party, but against a party.

This is due to the disappearance of major ideological issues that divided the electorate and justified the existence of a variety of parties: religion, communism, colonialism, and the Cold War for example.
Thus the French political system is becoming more like the American one not only in the way that it is structured but in an ideological sense as well.
In the French two-round system, a candidate on one of the extremes can have the satisfaction of being the runner-up in the second round of elections and, thereby, having some influence.
