Mechanism of the French presidential election
In the French presidential election, if none of the candidates get a majority of the valid votes in the first vote, the top two will vote in the final two weeks later.
Under the current election system, which has been in place since 1965, the first vote has never been settled, and everything has progressed to the final vote.
The result of the voter who voted for the third or lower candidate in the first vote greatly depends on who votes in the final vote, so the candidate who was second in the first vote is the final vote. In some cases, it was reversed and won.
