These rules are derived from the [former chapter 54A of the Massachusetts General Laws](https://www.cambridgema.gov/-/media/Files/electioncommission/massachusettsgenerallawschapter54a.pdf), but have by regulation been modified to incorporate the procedures set out in Article IX of the former [1938 Charter of the City of Cincinnati](https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/001754258).

Exceptions:
@ -31,7 +31,8 @@ Exceptions:
* [E3] A tie between 2 candidates for the final vacancy will be broken backwards then at random, rather than the method described in the legislation.
* [E4] Bulk exclusion is not performed. See the section on *Bulk exclusion* for further discussion.
* [E5] The ‘mathematically eliminated by the sum of all ranked-choice votes comparison’ is not implemented.
* [E6] By default, the quota is always calculated to 2 decimal places. For full ERS76 (ERS73) compliance, set *Round quota to 0 d.p.* when the quota is more than 100 (100 or more).
* [E6] No distinction is made between stages and substages (during exclusion). This affects only the numbering of stages and not the result.
* [E7] By default, the quota is always calculated to 2 decimal places. For full ERS76 (ERS73) compliance, set *Round quota to 0 d.p.* when the quota is more than 100 (100 or more).
