Line 162:

# Count the number of 1st choices for each candidate.

# If any candidate has as many or more votes than the quota, elect them, and spend as much of a quota as possible of their votes. Distribute any surpluses (votes over the quota) that the just-elected candidates had to their voters' next preferences. Repeat until no more candidates can be elected. If there are as many ~~uneliminatef~~ candidates left as seats to be filled, elect all of them except the one with the fewest votes.

'''3. "Un-eliminate" all previously eliminated candidates*, and run any single-winner method, treating ballots with partial weight as partial ballots i.e. a ballot A>B>C with 60% weight remaining in the STV count is treated as 0.6 A>B>C ballots for the single-winner method's count. Elect the winner of the single-winner method.'''
