Tie-breaking in voting methods is often done randomly (i.e. for however many candidates there are in the tie, assign them each an equal chance of being picked), though sometimes more nuanced procedures are used, such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexicographical_order lexicographic ordering]. In many cases, the reason for this is to preserve compliance with certain criteria i.e. [[Sequential Monroe voting]] can be done with a tiebreaker of picking the candidate in the tie with the highest overall summed score when multiple candidates tie for having the most support from their quota of voters, in order to preserve compliance with the [[Pareto criterion]].
There must be more candidates than seats to be filled for different voting methods to give different results.
