selection process / procedure Explanation: not sure if there is a specific term for *Ausscheidungsverfahren* -- this might do! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 51 mins (2005-07-03 13:39:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Perhaps *election of the speaker* would do! see http://www.parliament.uk/works/speaker.cfm#spelec |

exhaustive ballot system Explanation: According to the links below, the exhaustive ballot system is used to elect the Speaker in the British House of Commons. Definition: "Under the Exhaustive Ballot system, voters place an 'X' next to the candidate of their choice. If a candidate receives more than 50% of the votes, he or she is elected. If no candidate does so, the candidate with fewest votes, as in AV, is eliminated. However, unlike in AV, the House would then vote again on the reduced slate of candidates, and would continue doing so until one candidate receives more than half the votes or only two candidates remain."
