How does it work?

To get elected, a candidate needs a set amount of votes, known as the quota. 

The winner is the candidate who reaches the ‘quota’ first. The quota for each of these elections is 50%+1 of all the votes cast in that ballot.

1. First preference votes counted

2. If no-one reaches the quota, last-place candidate is eliminated

3. The second preferences of voters who chose that candidate are redistributed among those remaining

4. This continues, if necessary repeating these steps, until someone reaches the quota
