In other words "foreign objects" in presidential ballot boxes should be excludedsmile

The spirit of the 50%+1 is that the number of people who voted for the winner must exceed half the number of all voters by 1. Thats how 'votes cast' come in. Do you then assume that the number of rejected+spoilt+valid presidential votes is equal to the total number of voters who cast their votes?

@limanika, good question. rejected+spoilt+valid presidential votes is NOT necessarily equal to the total number of voters who cast their votes.

Rejected votes have now become the 9th candidate. If this candidate becomes second, who will the run-off be between? This is unprecedented!
