===Counting the votes===
 
# 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.
 
FromThe remaining candidates are the winners. The sum of the points forof eachthe candidateremaining left,candidates indicates the percentage% of victory is obtained.
 
===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.
