Line 162:
# Count the number of 1st choices for each candidate.
# If any candidate has as many or more votes than the quota, elect them, and spend as much of a quota as possible of their votes. Distribute any surpluses (votes over the quota) that the just-elected candidates had to their voters' next preferences. Repeat until no more candidates can be elected. If there are as many uneliminatef candidates left as seats to be filled, elect all of them except the one with the fewest votes.
If only one seat is unfilled, go to step 3. Otherwise go to step 4.
