===Normalization formula===
 
e := value of the candidate eliminated from a vote.
v1 v0 := newold value of candidate X.
 
v0 v1 := oldnew value of candidate X.
P := 100 (total points used in a vote)
 
v1 := new value of candidate X.
<math>\begin{equation}
 
v1=\frac{v0}{1-\frac{e}{P}}
P := 100 (total points used in a vote)
\end{equation}</math>
 
<math>\begin{equation}
v1=\frac{v0}{1-\frac{e}{P}}

===Vote without 0 points===
Line 99 ⟶ 96:
Each voter, based on his own interests, creates the following 2 sets of candidates:
 
* Winner Set := set containing a quantity of favorite candidates equal to or less than the number of winners.
* Loser Set := set containing the candidates who aren't part of the Winner Set.
 
Given an honest vote, the tactical vote is obtained by minimizing the points of the Loser Set, maximizing the points of the Winner Set, and maintaining the proportions of honest interests within the two sets.
Line 171 ⟶ 168:
If the seats had different fractional value, in addition to determining the winning candidates, Distributed Voting also determine their % of victory, which are already indicated by the sum of the points of the winning candidates, remaining at the end of the counting.
 
Eg* Ex.1: a streamer wants to talk about 3 topics in a 4-hour live, chosen by his supporters through a poll. With Distributed Voting the 3 winning arguments A,B,C would also have associated the % of victory: A[50%] B[26%] C[24%]. These % indicate to the streamer that he must devote 2 hours to topic A, and 1 hour to topics B and C. Without these %, the streamer would have mistakenly spent 1 hour and 20 min for each of the topics.
 
Eg* Ex.2: on a crowdfunding platform, fans can have a different weight in the vote, based on how much money they have donated. In Distributed Voting you can manage directly this difference in power by assigning fans different amounts of points to distribute.
 
Eg* Ex.3: in an image contest, there is a cash prize to be awarded to the 3 best images. The prize will be divided appropriately according to the % of victory and not in a pre-established way before the contest.
 
===Vote writing===
 
To make the writing of the vote more comprehensible and simple, the voter can be left with almost complete freedom in the use of numerical values or only X. Before the counting process, the votes will be normalized to 100-point votes, where the Xs are considered as equal weight values.
 
Before the counting process, the grades will be normalized to 100-point grades, where the Xs are considered as equal weight values.
 
Examples of how a vote can be written by the voter and subsequently, in the counting, converted into 100 points:
 
X,0,0,0,0     →   100,0,0,0,0
X,X,X,X,0     →   25,25,25,25,0
4,3,2,1,0     →   40,30,20,10,0
40,6,3,1,0    →   80,12,6,2,0
101,0,0,0,0   →   100,0,0,0,0
999,99,9,1    →   89.17, 8.83, 1, 1
 
Original → Normalized in 100 points
The complexity in writing the vote adapts to the voter, and it’s also noted that, if 101 or 99 points are mistakenly distributed, the vote will still be valid.
X,0,0,0,0     →   100,0,0,0,0
X,X,X,X,0     →   25,25,25,25,0
4,3,2,1,0     →   40,30,20,10,0
40,6,3,1,0    →   80,12,6,2,0
101,0,0,0,0   →   100,0,0,0,0
999,99,9,1    →   89.17, 8.83, 1, 1
 
In the last example the decimal values, which should be less than 1, are set to 1 and the remaining points are divided proportionally among the other candidates (it serves to prevent Distributed Voting from becoming like [[IRV]]).
