Line 7:
Each ballot is given an initial "weight" of 1.
1. The highest scoring candidate wins the first seat.
2. When a candidate wins, all ballots supporting that candidate are then reweighted, resulting in reduced vote weight going forward for voters who have successfully helped to elect a candidate. This reweighting happens in proportion to the amount of support given in order to ensure that all voters have an equitable amount of influence on the election
'''Reweighted ballot = 1/(1+SUM/MAX), where SUM is the sum of the scores that ballot gives to the winners-so-far'''
3. The remaining candidate with the highest total reweighted score wins, and the process is repeated until all available seats have been filled.
See http://www.rangevoting.org/RRV.html for more details (some of the wording on this page is taken from there). A variant is to use the reweighting formula 0.5/(0.5 + SUM/MAX).
== Variations ==
A variant to the algorithm is to use the reweighting formula 0.5/(0.5 + SUM/MAX).
A 5 STAR variation in which a final runoff is preformed for the last seat available has been proposed in order to incentivize voters to more honestly express their preference order and degree of support.
Each voter submits a ballot in which candidates are scored from 0 (worst) to 5 (best.)
Each ballot is given an initial "weight" of 1.

3. The remaining candidate with the highest total reweighted score wins each seat available- up until the final seat up for election.
4. For the final seat available, the two highest scoring candidates remaining runoff, with the candidate preferred (scored higher) by more voters winning the final seat.
