# Select the candidate with the highest sum of score as this rounds winner
# Set the ballot weight to zero for the [[Quota]] of voters ballots which gavecontributed the highest scores to that winner
#* If several voters have given the winnercontributed the same score to the winner at the threshold of the Quota then [[Fractional Surplus Handling]] is applied to those voters
# Repeat this process until all the seats are filled.
'''Fractional Surplus Handling to break ties in exhaustion''': whenWhen calculating which ballots belong to a candidate's quota so they should be allocated to them, if for a particular score, including voters that gave that candidate that score in the quota would make the quota to large and excluding it would make it to small, then exhaust a portion of those votevoter's ballot weights such that the total weight of the exhausted ballots still equals the hareHare quota. The reason why [[Fractional Surplus Handling]] is preferred is that it preserves the [[Independence of irrelevant alternatives]] and [[Monotonicity]] criteria. Note that this means that voters can have a fractional ballot weight and they can subsequently only contribute that fraction of the score they put on the ballot to the candidates during tabulation. Additionally, they are only counted as that fraction of a ballot during exhaustion.
