Line 10:
Each voter starts with 5 stars, (the max possible score which can be given to any candidate.) Depending on the number of seats up for election, each seat also has a set max cost.
 
* Max cost to win a seat = (number of voters) x 5 / number of seats up for election)) x 5<br /><br />
 
'''Sequentially Spent Score works by a four-step process:'''
Line 26:
===[[Surplus Handling]]===
 
For the second step, if that candidate had received more than a predefined threshold of points (usually defined as a Hare or Droop [[Quota]] of the ballots multiplied by the maximum score5), then the amount of score points to take away from the ballots supporting that round's winner is to be reduced proportionally to ensure that only the equivalent in ballot weight of that predefined threshold of points is removed. This is known as [[Fractional Surplus Handling]].
 
Specifically, in the second step, the score given to the winner is divided by (the total score given to that winner) * (Total number of Winners)/ (Total number of voters). This is a number greater than 1 and hence reduces the amount spent on that winner by each voter.
