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.
Po novom zakonu, taj zahtev važi samo za prvi krug glasanja, a kandidat koji osvoji više od polovine glasova u tom krugu postaje predsednik. U suprotnom, održava se drugi krug u kome učestvuju dvojice najuspešnijih kandidata. Međutim, za razliku od starog zakona, izbori propadaju ako u prvom krugu odziv bude manji od 50 %. U tom slučaju, drugi krug se ni ne održava.
