Many things would have to change here.  Security procedures require

a month between early voting and delivery of mail ballots.  It certainly
won't allow a quick second round.
 
Locally, all schools are closed on election day and even the day before
this year due to schools being polling places.  It's tough to have an
indeterminate calendar for schools.

 
Here, southwest Texas, I don't know of a polling place that's in a
school. Churches, fire stations, city hall, county courthouse but no
schools.

I have a vague recollection of my father voting at a church (in 1956?).
As for me in the past 50 years, I have voted at two different schools 
and a building that I think was a senior center (each many times). I
can't remember what the first two polling locations were.
