Line 5:
It works by a four-step process:
Each voter starts with a ballot a number of score points equal to the MAX possible score.
# Elect the candidate who is the [[Utilitarian winner]]
#:*ie the candidate with the highest sum of score)
# Lower the "remaining score points" for each voter that had supported that candidate by how strongly they supported that candidate.
# For voters that spent points in the previous step, adjust the amount of score given to the remaining candidates on the ballot by '''capping''' it at the remaining number of score points. ie (new score) = min(score,remaining points)▼
#:*ie (remaining points) = (points) - (score given to winner) (with surplus handling; see below)
▲# For voters that spent points in the previous step, adjust the amount of score given to the remaining candidates on the ballot by '''capping''' it at the remaining number of score points.
#:*ie (new score) = min(score,remaining points)
# Repeat these steps until all the necessary seats are filled.
