All votes won't be carried to the final round so this means the winner isn't guaranteed a 50+% share of the vote.

- AndrewDucker 15y agoPeople don't have to fill in all candidates, so some votes may be lost along the way. The winner is guaranteed a 50% vote share of all votes that make it to the final round - and nobody is denied a chance of getting their vote there.
