An inactive or exhausted ballot counts for candidates in the first round but not in the final round.
Ballots become inactive for the following reasons:
* Election administrators limit voters to a certain number of rankings, such as three, and all of their ranked candidates are eliminated during the round-by-round count. This is known as '''involuntary exhaustion'''.
* The ballot is '''disqualified due to error''', such as giving multiple candidates the same ranking.
