Required turnout
Thanks @Number 57: for clarifying that an absolute majority of registered voters, and not only of valid votes, is required for a candidate to win in the first round. The turnout quorum of the second round, however, has contradicting sources. The one linked clearly state it is 40 %, yet when checking it up it seem article 81 of the constitution state "The second round takes place within 14 days of the termination of voting in the first round. A candidate is elected President if he/she wins a majority of the votes of those who voted, provided more than half of the registered voters voted.". Either the source is wrong, or the constitution at Wipo is outdated. And I can't seem to find info clearing it up. --Aréat (talk) 11:32, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
- @Aréat: I guess we should go with the constitution (the 50% figure is on the version on the parliament website. I'll update the article. Number 57 12:59, 22 March 2019 (UTC)
