Line 20:
# The iteration number I is set to 1. (Higher iteration numbers mean lower quotas. The process will be run from scratch with an increasing iteration number until a full slate of candidates reaches the quota)
# The quota Q is set to the [[Droop Quota]]; that is, to the rational number (V+1)/(S+I), where V is valid votes and S is seats.
#* Delegated votes first count full-weight for their chosen candidate. Once that candidate is elected or eliminated, a vote is divided equally among all non-disapproved, non-eliminated members of the top party remaining on that ballot with any such members.
#* Undelegated votes are divided equally among all approved, non-eliminated candidates on that ballot.
#* Any candidates who reach the quota are immediately and simultaneously elected, and their ballots are reweighted to eliminate a Droop quota.
#* If there are no candidates who reach the quota, the party with the fewest votes is identified, and the candidate from that party with the fewest votes is eliminated. All votes for that candidate are reassigned as outlined above.
#* If the above finishes without electing a full slate, the process starts from scratch with a lower quota:
#:* All ballots are reweighted to 1
#:* All elected representatives return to being hopeful candidates
#:* The iteration number is increased by 1. This reduces the quota Q, as if it were the Droop quota for a legislature one seat bigger.
#:* The counting process is rerun from scratch, starting with step 3.
# Each district "drafts" one member of each elected party from the elected slate. The draft proceeds as follows:
#*First, each representative is drafted by their home district.
#*From then on, the draft proceeds in descending order of votes. That is, if more votes from district 1 go to candidate A than any other eligible district:candidate pair, then A is drafted to that district. Eligibility rules are as follows:
#:*General rule: All representatives from a party must be drafted N times before any representative from that party may be drafted N+1 times.
#:*General rule: No district may draft two representatives from the same party.
 
Your representative is the member of the party you voted for who is representing your district. If no member of the party you voted for was elected, then you may look at the public ballot of your chosen candidate to see which of your district's representatives is yours.
