Reading about this process always makes me wonder: in a particular round, was an elector allowed to choose someone who had already been chosen in a previous round? And if yes, to what extent was this done in practice?

Depending on this detail, the character of this election process changes completely, since if repeats are allowed, it could easily degenerate into an oligarchy of ~50 people consistently choosing candidates from among their ranks.

When fifty decisionmakers are involved, nothing whatsoever could occur 'easily'. That is more or less the purpose of the system.

Eh, there will be a lot they don't agree on, but they could very easily agree on lots of stuff that's detrimental to the populace, i.e. mainly agree on who gets the spoils of exploiting the government. That's plenty to incentivize them to limit their competition to just each other.

Agreed. Also, could an elector be nominated to the next round? (i.e. does becoming an elector prevent you from winning the election)
