* Conceptually speaking, the candidates who are eliminated during the STV portion of the count could be said to be eliminated from contention for the first N - 1 seats, but still remain in contention for the final seat; though technically, it's possible for the final seat to be filled during the STV count itself (i.e. in a 2-seat election, 2 candidates might each have a quota of 1st choices and automatically win).<ref name="reddit pseudo">{{cite web | title=Pseudocode for STV with Condorcet for the final seat : EndFPTP | website=reddit | date=2020-02-08 | url=https://www.reddit.com/r/EndFPTP/comments/f0muwv/pseudocode_for_stv_with_condorcet_for_the_final/ | access-date=2020-02-10}}</ref></blockquote>IfNote thethat single-winnerwith method passes the [[Majority criterion|majoritythis criterion]]scheme, thenafter thisall modificationbut makesone STVseat withis Droopfilled, quotassurplus becomedistribution theis single-winneronly methodnecessary inwhen thethere single-winneris case,enough sinceof a candidatesurplus withto apotentially Droophelp quotaone of 1st choices is the majority'suneliminated 1stcandidates choiceget ina the single-winner casequota.
