Line 3:
# '''Voters Prefer, Accept, or Reject each candidate.''' On ballots which don't explicitly use "Reject", or for candidates with less than 25% "Prefer", blanks count as "Reject"; otherwise, blanks count as "Accept".
# '''Tally 1 point for each "Prefer"''' for each candidate.
# Out of the candidates (if any) with no more than 50% "Reject", find the frontrunner:one whichever of them haswith the most points. '''For every ballot which doesn't "Prefer" thethis frontrunner, add 1 point for each "Accept".'''
# If the frontrunner changes, reRe-tally step 3 if that makes a difference. (ThisIn other words, if the frontrunner changed; this will not happen atmore mostthan once.) '''Most points wins.'''
 
Note that the procedure above will always elect a candidate with no more than 50% "Reject", if any exist. This is because, if any exist, one of them will be the frontrunner, and they will thus score points equal to at least 50% of the voters.
