(add "keep at least 50%" clause in pre-eliminations)
Line 24:
# Tally votes
#* Each ballot counts as 1 point for the chosen candidate.
# Eliminate candidates without enough support in their riding.
#*Candidates are eliminated unless they fulfill one of the following criteria. (In all cases, "local" means "from the same riding".)
#* The top candidate in each riding, counting local votes only, is never eliminated.
#** TheFirst secondplace candidatelocally: inThey eachhave riding, countingmore local votes only,than isany eliminated only if theirother local votes are fewer than half those of the topcandidate.

(For this rule, "top"and isat countedleast byhalf localas votesmany only,as butthat "those of" includes non-local votesone.)
#** First place semi-locally: They have more total (local and non-local) votes than any other local candidate, and at least half as many local votes as any other local candidate.
#** Keep at least 50%: The local votes for candidates who have more than them add up to less than 50% of all the local votes.
#* ''This makes sure that no riding is badly mis-represented just because a given party "deserves" more winners.''
#* ''It also helps discourage voters from splintering into small single-issue parties. If a party can’t pass this threshold in even one riding, it won’t get seats. But those votes can still be transferred, so those voters can still be represented by a relatively sympathetic candidate from a slightly larger party.''
