But it isn't.</span><br><span>Suppose there are 10 candidates seeking 5 seats. Your first choice counts the most to elect a candidate. But your 10th choice counts the most to exclude a candidate. Your 5th choice helps a bit to elect a candidate. Your 6th choice helps a bit to exclude a candidate.</span><br><span>You can leave any preference blank. Leaving them all blank is the same as NOTA.</span><br><span>Because this system empowers to elect and also exclude, it is called Binomial STV (Single Transferable Vote).</span><br><span> I hope you will read my two free Smashwords booklets. The latest is "Elect and Exclude. BInomial STV hand count basics. </span><br><span></span><font color="#000000" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><a href="https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1111349" style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1111349</a></font></div><div><br><span>No doubt, my explanations take too much for granted, but I can answer questions, and help, if needed. Also, if you complete a binomial count, please send the working for the count, with the result. </span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Regards,</span></div><div><span>Richard Lung.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span><br></span></div></div></body></html>
