In many countries in which there are a president and vice-president with both positions being directly elected by popular vote, the running mate of the winning presidential candidate automatically assumes the vice-presidency; a notable exception is the Philippines, in which one presidential candidate can be (and usually is) elected with the running mate of an opposing candidate.

In the [[Republic of Ireland]], the term "running mate" refers to members of the same party who are running for the same [[Dáil constituencies|constituency]] in a general election for [[Dáil Éireann]].
