Line 10:
#* The ballot lists the candidates running locally, with their parties and their first three transfer preferences (explained below).
#* Voters may write in candidates from further away, using error-resistant codes.
#* There is also a way to vote for a party without voting for any candidate in particular. This is equivalent to voting for an eliminated candidate who strongly endorsed all party members.
# Each ballot is converted to a transfer order using the chosen candidate, their endorsements, and the initial vote tallies of each.
# Voters may choose not to delegate.
#* This is essentially only to satisfy constitutional concerns about voter freedom. It is almost never strategically a good choice, and it is generally discouraged.
# Each ballot which does not opt out of delegating is converted to a transfer order using the chosen candidate, their endorsements, and the initial vote tallies of each.
#* Transfers go in order of endorsement level, and within each endorsement level in order of initial vote totals.
#* For example, say you endorsed candidate X, who'd strongly endorsed P and Q, endorsed R and S, and weakly endorsed T and U. If the vote total order among those endorsed candidates was S>T>U>P>Q>R, then your vote would be converted to X>P>Q>S>R>T>U. So if X, P, and Q were all either eliminated or elected, any remaining voting power that hadn't been used up in electing those would be transferred to S.
