In the United States, a contingent election is used to elect the president or vice president if no candidate receives a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed. A presidential contingent election is decided by a special vote of the United States House of Representatives, while a vice-presidential contingent election is decided by a vote of the United States Senate. During a contingent election in the House, each state delegation votes en bloc to choose the president instead of representatives voting individually. Senators, by contrast, cast votes individually for vice president.

  • En los Estados Unidos, una elección contingente hace referencia al procedimiento utilizado para elegir al presidente o vicepresidente del país en el caso de que ningún candidato para uno o ambos cargos obtenga la mayoría absoluta de votos en el colegio electoral. Las elecciones contingentes presidenciales se deciden por votación de la Cámara de Representantes de los Estados Unidos, mientras que las elecciones contingentes vicepresidenciales se deciden por votación en el Senado. Durante una elección de contingencia, la delegación de la Cámara de Representantes de cada estado emite un voto en bloque para determinar al presidente, en lugar de un voto por cada representante. Los senadores, por otro lado, votan de manera individual al vicepresidente. (es)
  • 在美国,权变选举(或:临时选举;英语:Contingent election)是依据美国宪法第十二条修正案中提到的解决如果没有总统候选人获得过半选举人票的情况下,由众议院选总统,参议院选副总统程的程序。这种情况极为罕见,至今只发生过三次。触发这一选举程序的情形包括: * 多名被选举人竞选,没有单一被选举人获得50%以上的绝对多数选举人票; * 两名被选举人竞选,双方同时获得50%的选举人票。 美国宪法第十二条修正案中相关条文如下: 译文如下: * ...获得总统选票最多的人,如所得票数超过所选派选举人总数的半数,即为总统。如无人获得这种过半数票,众议院应立即从被选为总统之人名单中得票最多的但不超过三人中间,投票选举总统。但选举总统时,以州为单位计票,每州代表有一票表决权。2/3的州各有一名或多名众议员出席,即构成选举总统的法定人数,选出总统需要所有州的过半数票。当选举总统的权力转移到众议院时,如该院在次年3月4日前尚未选出总统,则由副总统代理总统,如同总统死亡或宪法规定的其他丧失任职能力的情况一样...—— (zh)
