It appears as if the Chamber's proposal for California is neither a 
"primary/general" or a "general/run-off" election, but a hybrid of the two, 
because it would hold the November "run-off" election between the top two 
finishers of the June "place-your-word-here" election, regardless of whether 
one of those candidates had received a majority vote in the June election.  
This, as I understand it, makes it different from the traditional nonpartisan 
"general/run-off" election scheme, in which a run-off election is only held 
if no one receives a majority vote in the general election.

Is anyone aware of a nonpartisan "general/run-off" election scheme in which a 
run-off election is held even if one candidate receives a majority in the 
first election?
