Indirect elections

At indirect elections, the electorate cast their votes for electors acting as intermediaries. After that poll, the electors form a body which in the end determines the candidate elect.

This type of election is not used in Germany at Bundestag and European elections. An example of an indirect election is the election of the US President.
