'''Runoff voting''' is a [[voting system]] used in single-seat [[election]]s. It is used widely around the world, including in elections for the [[President of France]] and [[President of Finland|Finland]], and especially in a [[political party]]'s [[primary election]]s, in which it selects candidates to present to the public.
 
Line 13 ⟶ 15:
Runoff voting can be condensed into a single preference ballot paper, at which point it becomes [[instant-runoff voting]] or an "alternative vote". A simplified model of a two round system is the [[supplementary vote]].
 
A runoff ballot is not the same thing as a [[primary election]]. In a runoff ballot, all candidates are placed on the initalinitial ballot and all voters are allowed to participate in the vote, whereas primaries are generally internal measures within a political party.
