==== Niggling detail 2: Rules for "Do not transfer" and for party-only votes ==== |
|||
* If a voter chooses a local candidate and marks "do not transfer", their vote will be exhausted as soon as that candidate is eliminated or elected. |
|||
** The same if a voter writes in a nonlocal candidate and marks "do not transfer". (Although this is expected to be rare) |
|||
* If a voter chooses a party, their vote will go to any member of that party, in descending order of raw vote total; and then will be exhausted when all members of that party are elected or eliminated. |
|||
** If a voter chooses a party and marks "do not transfer to local candidates", then it will be as above, except that their vote will skip over any candidates from that party running locally. |
|||
* The boxes for "do not transfer" (next to local candidates) and "do not transfer to local candidates" (next to party/write-in slots) are considered equivalent; there are two and their wording is different merely as a convenience. |
