If the only candidate C with 0 points is eliminated from a vote like this A[80] B[20] C[0], there are 2 forms that the vote can take:

⚫
# honest form: A[80] B[20]
⚫
# tactical form: A[100] B[0]

⚫
It's recommended to use the honest form, also because the vote from the beginning may not have candidates with 0 points.

The two procedures return the same winners, but in the [[Multi-Member System|multi-winner]] case the winners can have different % of victory; in this case it's better to use procedure 1 for the reasons indicated above.
For the reasons indicated above, it’s strongly discouraged to use procedure 2.

Cases of parity can occur during counting, as in the following example:


* Vote 1: A[50] B[25] C[25]
* Vote 1: A[55] B[25] C[10] D[10]
* Vote 2: A[50] B[25] C[25]
* Vote 2: A[50] B[30] C[10] D[10]
* Sum of votes: A[100] B[50] C[50]
* Sum of votes: A[105] B[55] C[20] D[20]


In this case, the worst candidate is both B and C so you have to eliminate them simultaneously. The amount of points to be redistributed will be the sum of the points that had B and C (100 in the example).
In this case, the worst candidate is both C and D so you have to eliminate them simultaneously. The amount of points to be redistributed will be the sum of the points that had C and D (40 in the example).
