<small>'''Delegated votes''':The delegated votes for candidate X is the number of ballots that approve only X and do not mark "Do not delegate". X will get a chance to effectively add additional approvals to these votes; or, if X has less than 5% approval, then additional approvals will be added automatically, in order to attain a better result by X's predeclared preferences.

<small>'''Automatic approvals''': When approvals are assigned automatically for candidate X, they are set to approve as many of their pre-declared preferences as possible without approving both of the two candidates with the highest current approval totals that they prefer differently. (For example, say that X's preferences were for A or B, then C, then D and E, and the approval totals are 40, 30, 10, 20, and 15 alphabetically. A has the highest total; B has the next-highest, but does not count, because they are preferred equally to A; and D has the next-highest. So X's delegated ballots will be assigned to approve as many candidates as possible without approving both A and D; that is, they will approve A, B, and C.)</small>
