Ballot weights are set to the transfer value. Transferred votes are credited in parcels to avoid excessive rounding. * Wright STV: Same as weighted inclusive Gregory, but when a candidate is excluded, the count is reset from the beginning (minus the excluded candidate). +Note that, in each of these options, all a candidate's ballot papers are examined during a surplus transfer. The practice used in some rules (e.g. ERS97) where ballot papers are divided into transferable and non-transferable papers, and only transferable papers further examined, is not currently supported. + Note that, when unweighted inclusive Gregory surplus transfers are used, ballot weights are always represented internally as fractions, while candidate totals are represented according to the *Numbers* option. Other surplus transfer methods, such as exclusive Gregory (‘last bundle’) or non-fractional transfers (e.g. random sample) are not recommended and not supported. diff --git a/html/index.html b/html/index.html index 7c541ce..7156d87 100644 --- a/html/index.html +++ b/html/index.html @@ -45,6 +45,7 @@ + Information and instructions
