Exhausted ballot: Difference between revisions
(Proposing merge with "Exhausted choices", per my comment at Talk:Exhausted ballot#Exhausted ballots vs exhausted choices.

Line 2:
An exhausted ballot occurs when a voter overvotes, undervotes, or voter ranks only candidates that are eliminated from race ([[Exhausted choices]] ).

Line 8 ⟶ 7:
=Exhausted ballot types=
RCV (IRV) Ballot maybe be flagged as 'exhausted' for several different reasons.
==Exhausted Choices==
An exhausted choice occurs when a voter ranks only candidates that are eliminated from contention.
