Paragraph 31
 

If no party or alliance wins 53 seats (out of 101 regular seats plus 4 seats for minorities) or more in the preliminary distribution after the first round, and no new coalition is formed that makes up a majority of the seats, a second round is organised (Articles 97.4 and 98). In that round, the two contestants (parties or alliances) that won the highest number of votes in the first round compete. They are, however, allowed to form new alliances, which could, for example, include parties that ran individually in the first round, without being among the top two.
