secound round of the elections
Depending on the context, it could also be a re-run of the elections.

A re-run of an election is usually when there is a dispute involved (usual thing in Africa when there are elections!!).

: For sure, and it's more elegant! "Second round, etc.", sounds like international [canned] English.

Exactly. On a newscast, or in a newspaper story, one would more likely see "run-off". Obrigado, Jonas.

: Ricardo used very poor English here as a result of literally translating "segundo turno" from Portuguese. One would simply never see "second turn" used in English in this context.

: "Bout," which is typically used in reference to athletic contests, would never be used in reference to elections, except in a joking or facetious manner.
