Line 24:
When multiple voters contributed the same score to the winner it may be the case that allocating them all to the winner would cause the quota to be exceeded but not allocating them all would cause the quota not to be met. For these voters on the cusp, an equal fraction of their ballot weight is allocated.
Fractional Surplus Handling ensures that voters who supported a candidate equally will be treated equally, while ensuring that the total weight of the ballots allocated for each winner will not exceed the Hare quota. It also preserves the [[Independence of irrelevant alternatives|Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives]] and [[Monotonicity]] criteria {{Citation_needed}}.
Note that with Fractional Surplus Handling voters can have a fractional ballot weight and they can subsequently only contribute that fraction to the remaining candidates, both during subsequent score tabulation and allocation.
