We have a system of preferential voting. This means that you vote in order of preference. ie you place the number 1 behind your preferred candidate in case this candidate doesn't get enough votes to be elected you have the choice of putting your next preference behind another candidate and have that vote counted instead by placing the number 2 behind that candidates name and so on. This system of voting while seeming cumbersome is by far the fairest system of voting because it goes to great pains to see to it that every vote eventualy goes to either the winer or the runner up. Recently preferential voting has become optional.

Did the Greeks have an Electoral College System?
No. The modern electoral college system originates from the Holy Roman Empire, which from 1376 to 1792 had a college of "Prince-Electors" - powerful and prominent monarchs, nobles or ecclesiastical office holders - who would chose a ruler within one of the Empire's nations to become Holy Roman Emperor. At no stage in its history, past or present, has Greece made use of an electoral college system.
