- Meaning of Second Ballot (Run-Off Election)
This is an electoral system in which the two candidates that secured the highest number of votes (in the first voting) are made to face one another in the second round of voting (second ballot) at a later date, and the candidate with the highest number of votes will be declared the winner.
