What do you mean by run-offs?

The top two candidates in the first round advance to a run-off in the second round?

But you already answered this in your top-level comment:
One should remember there are two rounds of voting. Only lists having scored at least 10% in the first round may line up for the second (and they may make deals with bigger lists before that). So Round Two sees a decider between the big lists.
Sorry for coming into the thread in medias res.

I wondered if you were giving the term some other meaning than a second round.

Otherwise, it's not first past the post.

I didn't realise up to 9 parties could progress to the second round.

It's quite possible (depending on local deals struck) that there'll be four lists on the run-off this time (as per the estimates I posted below.
