	Thanks for the question Wolf. 

	The election procedure is the one you describe.

	There is a vote with two options: for, or against, the sole candidate.

	If, after that vote, candidate has the required majority, candidate wins.

	If, after that vote, candidate has the highest number of votes (against "not-candidate") but does not have the required majority, there is a 2nd round where the voting choice becomes candidate, or abstain.

	I know this sounds redundant, but we have to follow the election procedure regardless of whether there are two candidates, or one.

	So in short: two rounds planned, unless outright win in first round.

	Hope this helps,

	
	Stéphane

		There's 1 question regarding the election procedure: are we going to proceed in 1 voting round or potentially in 2?
		 
		According to the draft procedures the council accepted to follow a first ballot should be taken between alternative candidates and a potential 2nd one between the candidate with the highest score and the "non of the above (nota)" option. Since we've just 1 candidate for the Council Chair the 2nd voting round seems to be the 1st - and only - one.
		 
		Is this the common understanding?
		 
		Kind regards
		Wolf-Ulrich
