Parmi les systèmes électoraux, le scrutin uninominal majoritaire à deux tours est un vote simple sans pondération. L'électeur doit choisir un candidat parmi plusieurs. On compte alors le nombre de voix obtenues par chaque candidat. Si un candidat recueille la majorité absolue (plus de 50% des suffrages exprimés) il est élu. Sinon, on organise une seconde élection, par exemple 8 à 15 jours plus tard, pouvant comporter un nombre plus réduit de candidats, et à l'issue de laquelle est élu celui qui recueille le plus de voix (majorité relative) parmi les suffrages exprimés. 1, record 1, French, - scrutin%20uninominal%20majoritaire%20%C3%A0%20deux%20tours
