can receive any votes on the second ballot (ballot is a relative term--it's done by show of hands). If a candidate doesn't muster the requisite 15%, those who supported him/her on the first ballot can choose another candidate in subsequent votes. Or they can stay "uncommitted". Those whose candidate received 15% will try to persuade the first-vote losers to switch their votes.
