Paragraph 55
 

As mentioned earlier, where the guiding principle is majoritarian, the candidate or list which obtains the requisite majority in the conclusive round of voting obtains all the seats in a constituency. In single-round ballots, a relative majority is generally required. In systems where an absolute or qualified majority is required, there are generally two rounds of voting.
