Line 24:
# Tally votes
#* Each ballot counts as 1 point for the chosen candidate.
# Eliminate candidates without enough support in their riding.
#*Candidates are eliminated unless they fulfill one of the following criteria. (In all cases, "local" means "from the same riding".)
#**
#**
#** First place semi-locally: They have more total (local and non-local) votes than any other local candidate, and at least half as many local votes as any other local candidate.
#** Keep at least 50%: The local votes for candidates who have more than them add up to less than 50% of all the local votes.
#* ''This makes sure that no riding is badly mis-represented just because a given party "deserves" more winners.''
#* ''It also helps discourage voters from splintering into small single-issue parties. If a party can’t pass this threshold in even one riding, it won’t get seats. But those votes can still be transferred, so those voters can still be represented by a relatively sympathetic candidate from a slightly larger party.''
