Single Seat Election

Example from the 1990 Irish presidential election.

In this case, no further runoff is required since Mary Robinson reached the threshold of votes required to be elected. Had there been more candidates, it’s possible that additional rounds of the runoff would have been required. The process of eliminating the candidate with the fewest votes and redistributing votes would be repeated until one candidate reached the threshold.
