 ===Counting the votes===
-# The point for each candidate are summed.
+# The point for each candidate are summed and the one with the lowest sum is eliminated.
-# The worst candidate who doesn't reach the minimum threshold 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.
+By repeating the process from the beginning, a candidate is eliminate each time.
-This process can be carried out several times, and ends when there are no more candidates below the minimum threshold.
-From the sum of the points for each candidate left, the percentage of victory is obtained.
+The remaining candidates are the winners. The sum of the points of the remaining candidates indicates the % of victory.
+===Example normalization of a vote===
+Given an initial vote of this type, with candidates A,B,C,D,E:
+A[0], B[1], C[3], D[6], E[90]
+E is eliminated:
+A[0], B[10], C[30], D[60]
+D is eliminated:
+A[0], B[25], C[75]
+C is eliminated:
+A[0], B[100]
 ===Normalization of the vote===
 e := value of the candidate eliminated from the vote.
-X := candidate, still present in the vote, whose new amount of points is to be calculated.
 v0 := old value of candidate X.
