Line 15:
* Each vote is transformed into the pre-announced party preference order and individual approvals/disapprovals of the candidate it chooses. Votes will never be transferred to a candidate who was disapproved in the pre-announced list.
* A legislature is elected by a modified version of [[STV]], using the following steps:
# The iteration number I is set to
# The quota Q is set to the rational number (V+1)/(S+I), where V is valid votes and S is seats. (For the first iteration, this is a form of the [[Hare quota]]. However, it is likely that the process will usually run for exactly two iterations, so the quota will end up being a form of the [[Droop
# Delegated votes first count full-weight for their chosen candidate. Once that candidate is elected or eliminated, a vote is divided equally among all non-disapproved, non-eliminated members of the top party remaining on that ballot with any such members.
# Undelegated votes are divided equally among all approved, non-eliminated candidates on that ballot.
Line 24:
# If the above finishes without electing a full slate, the process so far is recalculated with a lower quota:
#* The iteration number is increased by 1. This reduces the quota Q, as if it were the Droop quota for a legislature one seat bigger.
#* All elections and eliminations so far are re-applied in the same order with the new quota (see note at bottom of this section)
#* The process is continued from step 5.
# For each party with more than one seat, the districts are divided among the party representatives through the following automatic "draft" procedure:
Line 31:
Your representative is the member of the party you voted for who is representing your district. If no member of the party you voted for was elected, then you may look at the public preferences of your chosen candidate to see which of your district's representatives is yours.
(Note: this step used to say, rerun the election from scratch. However, that version provides a truncation incentive. This version gives the same protection from small, marginal parties as before, but removes the truncation incentive.)
