Right. It's also a reminder to the newly elected guy that he, too, can be replaced if he does not serve the people.
While this is technically true, only ~2% of voters seem to have put a second preference. So for practical purposes, it behaved like a plurality election.
The sad thing is that my country has a parliamentary system, and local parties have repeatedly crushed the national parties in state elections. And yet the media and pundits ignore them under the excuse that if people don't support the crook of their choice, 'the wrong lizard would win'. In reality, their bosses are probably worried that if any half-competent and honest leader comes to power, (s)he can easily find enough evidence of corruption to throw them and their friends in jail.
