[EM] Filling a vacated seat using STV

Hello everyone,
does anyone happen to know whether the STV method can be used to fill a 
vacated seat by recalculating the original vote while simply excluding the 
candidate who took that vacated seat? Could a situation arise where this 
recalculation would cause someone else to lose their seat?

Thank you.




Kind regards
