III. Electoral system


B. The system of election for the President and Vice President


Article 310 of the draft Code provides that the President and Vice President are elected on a common ticket in a majoritarian two-round system. Under Article 93 of the Constitution and Article 342 of the draft Code, a candidate ticket that receives more than half of the valid votes cast is elected, provided that more than half of all registered voters have voted. Otherwise, a second round is to be held one week later between the two candidates who received the highest number of votes.
