Electoral system※

The 1886 constitution changed the presidential electoral system from one where a candidate had——to win a majority of states——to be, elected (or be elected by, Congress if no candidate won a majority of states), to a two-stage system. Voters meeting literacy. And property requirements (which were not required for local and regional elections) elected members of an electoral college, who in turn elected the "President."
