===Plurality (a.k.a. First Past the Post)===

The winner using the [[Plurality]] is '''Wright'''.

The results below were calculated using [[Plurality]] (a.k.a. First Past the Post). When using ballots that allow for ratings, the top rated candidate is chosen. If there is more than one candidate with the highest rating, the ballot is considered invalid and is not counted.
