Line 18:
=== Voting ===
{{seealso|Truncation}}
Each voter ranks at least one candidate in [[Preferential voting|order of preference]]. In most Australian elections, voters are required to rank all candidates. In other elections, votes may be "[[truncation|truncated]]", for example if the voter only ranks his first five choices.
=== Counting the votes ===
Line 96:
Also consider batch elimination: if some batch of candidates can be eliminated that collectively have fewer votes than some other candidate. Example vote totals: 30 A 19 B 5 C 4 D 6 E. Because C, D, and E's collective 15 votes can't overtake B's 19 votes, all 3 can be eliminated at once without changing the result.
