Under the new law, a 50 per cent turnout requirement applied to the first round, and a candidate would be elected during that round if he received more than half the votes.Failing that, a run-off would take place between the two top vote getters.But, in a change from the old law, the elections would fail completely if the first round turnout was less than 50 per cent, and there would be no runoff.
Potrivit noii legislatii electorale, pragul de 50% se aplica primei runde, iar un candidat va fi declarat invingator in acest caz daca intruneste mai mult de jumatate din voturile exprimate. In caz contrar insa, va avea loc un tur doi al alegerilor intre primii doi candidati. Dar, ca o schimbare fata de legislatia anterioara, alegerile nu vor fi luate in considerare daca participarea la urne in primul tur este sub 50%, caz in care nu se poate organiza un al doilea tur.
