▲<sup>1</sup> The [[U.S. state|state]] of [[Louisiana]] uses [[runoff voting]] for all House and Senate seats. All candidates run on a single ballot in the general election; if a candidate receives a majority of the vote, he or she is automatically elected. Otherwise, the top two finishers go to a runoff election, held approximately a month later, with the winner in the runoff earning the seat.
▲<sup>2</sup> The [[Ceann Comhairle]] or Speaker of Dáil Éireann is returned automatically for whichever constituency s/he was elected if they wish to seek re-election, reducing the number of seats contested in that constituency by one. (In that case, should the Ceann Comhairle be from a three-seater, only two seats are contested in the general election from there.) As a result, if the Ceann Comhairle wishes to be in the next Dáil, only 165 seats are actually contested in a general election.
<sup>3</sup> As of October 2004, New Zealand uses STV in 9 out of 79 councils. Each city can have more than one ward, or district.
