Direct voting to some candidates (person) where the one who obtains an absolute majority in the first round will win. The most common situation, however, is that no one gets it and, then, the two candidates who have got the most votes, pass as the only candidates to the second round, in which the one who has got the most votes wins.

Data model

In event that in the first round any of the candidates obtains an absolute majority, the direct suffrage design is applied, as it has been a single vote and whoever has obtained the most votes, has won. Therefore, the item of election contains all the results.

If, on the other hand, a second round is required, the data structure in WD for this type of election consists of a set of 3 items :

1. Main election item corresponding to the electoral call with basic and common data: dates, electorate, .. and, as a result in the property successful candidate (P991), it has the name of the winner of the second round .
2. First round item with candidates and results
3. Second round item with candidates and results

The structure of the last two items is similar and they are linked to the main item by the has part(s) (P527) and part of (P361). While some properties are not strictly necessary for the infobox at some of these two levels (e.g., candidates in the main item or jurisdiction in subordinates), we find them in some cases.
