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.
Според новиот закон, бараоето за 50 процентен одѕив се однесува на првиот круг и кандидатот треба да се избере за време на тој круг доколку освои повеќе од половина од гласовите.
