Hi Juho, and welcome to the list.

I'd like to clarify this, especially the second part. What exactly is an
"additional vote" in this context? A single ballot that lists this
candidate as the first choice, with all others tied for last? A reversal
of a pairwise preference in favor of this candidate?

my best,
James
