About the electoral system

The winner of the presidential election must be determined by an absolute majority. If there is no such majority, a second round follows within thirty days at the latest between the two candidates who collected the highest number of valid votes in the first round. Members of the Legislative Assembly are elected by the D'Hondt method.
