How do the elections actually work? Is it a FPP system?

2-round FPP. Candidates getting more than 12.5% of registered voters goes to the 2nd round. Then, the candidates with the most votes wins.

Wikipedia says a candidate can only win in the first round if they get >50% of votes and >25% of registered voters, and it it also specifies that if nobody gets >12.5% of registered voters, then the second round is just the top two candidates. Is this accurate? What happens when a candidate gets more than 50% of the vote but less than 25% of RV's? Or when only a single candidate gets more than 12.5% of RV's?

At any rate, the big showdown might/will be Panzergirl vs. Melenchon in Henin-Beaumont.

For real?

Melanchon to make up his mind today, apparently.
