Each voter has 100 points to distribute among the candidates according to his preferences.
Voter has 100 points to distribute among the candidates.


# The point for each candidate are summed and the one with the lowest sum is eliminated.
# The point for each candidate are summed, and the one with the lowest sum is eliminated.
# In each individual vote, the points of the eliminated candidate are removed and the vote is normalized, so that it has 100 points again.
# The points of the eliminated candidate are proportionally redistributed in each vote (normalization).


By repeating the process from the beginning, a candidate is eliminate each time.
By repeating processes 1 and 2, a candidate is eliminate each time.


The remaining candidates are the winners.

One or more of the following procedures are used:
⚫
* When the worst is eliminated, the candidates with the lowest score among those left in the vote must be set to 0, and then normalizes.


⚫
* When the worst is eliminated, the candidates with the lowest score among those left in the vote must be set to 0, and then normalizes.
* Surplus Handling is used in the case of [[Multi-Member System|Multi-Winner]].
* Surplus Handling (in the standard Distributed Voting it's not used).
* If the remaining candidates are contained in a Smith set, then the candidates with the highest sum wins.

The complexity in writing the vote adapts to the voter, and it’s also noted that, if 101 or 99 points are mistakenly distributed, the vote will still be valid.

In the last example they are set to 1, the decimal values which should be less than 1, and the remaining points are divided proportionally among the other candidates (it serves to prevent Distributed Voting from becoming like [[IRV]]).

By distributing points between 3 or more candidates, the Distributed Voting becomes increasingly different from the [[IRV]], because of normalization in the counting.
