It works by a four-step process:
Each voter starts with a ballot weight equal to the MAX possible score.
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
# For ballots that lost weight in the previous step, adjust the amount of score they give to the remaining candidates by '''capping''' it at the reduced ballot weight. ie (new score) = min(score,weight)
# Repeat these steps until all the necessary seats are filled.
===[[Surplus Handling]]===
Line 22 ⟶ 15:
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 score), then the amount of weight 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 [[Factional 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.
