Line 1:
Open List/Delegated voting (OL/D voting, pronounced "old voting") is a proportional voting method for electing legislators to a multi-seat body. It assumes the voters have been divided up into one equal-population locality (aka riding, district, or constituency) per seat being elected and that each candidate has publicly declared their preference order for the other candidates ("if I don't win, then I want the votes I hold to go to her, then him, then him, etc.").
Voters make two different choices in each race:
Line 30:
Once all seats are filled, each party with at least one seat assigns multi-locality a territory to each of their winning candidate, so that each locality is in the territory of one representative per party.
