Below are the results from STV as calculated by http://paul-lockett.co.uk/stv.html. This indicates that D is the winning logo. However, after looking at the votes it isn’t clear to me why A isn’t the winner as it had more first and second place votes. also, if you go through the votes and rank A and D based on which is ranked highest in each vote you would get A - 4, D - 3.
Thoughts? Ralph SINGLE TRANSFERABLE VOTE COUNTER Candidates=9 Seats=1 Votes=7 Quota=3.5 Raw votes vote 1: (D) (A) (B) (I) (E) (F) (H) (G) (C) vote 2: (D) (B) (A) (H) (C) (I) (E) (F) (G) vote 3: (H) (E) (F) (A) (B) (C) (I) (G) (D) vote 4: (G) (C) (D) (I) (H) (F) (A) (B) (E) vote 5: (H) (G) (I) (A) (E) (F) (B) (D) (C) vote 6: (A) (C) (B) (H) (G) (D) (I) (E) (F) vote 7: (A) (B) (D) (H) (C) (E) (F) (G) (I) Round 1 votes vote 1: (D) (A) (B) (I) (E) (F) (H) (G) (C) vote value = 1 vote 2: (D) (B) (A) (H) (C) (I) (E) (F) (G) vote value = 1 vote 3: (H) (E) (F) (A) (B) (C) (I) (G) (D) vote value = 1 vote 4: (G) (C) (D) (I) (H) (F) (A) (B) (E) vote value = 1 vote 5: (H) (G) (I) (A) (E) (F) (B) (D) (C) vote value = 1 vote 6: (A) (C) (B) (H) (G) (D) (I) (E) (F) vote value = 1 vote 7: (A) (B) (D) (H) (C) (E) (F) (G) (I) vote value = 1 A = 2 B = 0 C = 0 D = 2 E = 0 F = 0 G = 1 H = 2 I = 0 Fewest votes won by a candidate = 1. Number of candidates with the fewest votes = 1. G is eliminated. Round 2 votes vote 1: (D) (A) (H) vote value = 1 vote 2: (D) (A) (H) vote value = 1 vote 3: (H) (A) (D) vote value = 1 vote 4: (D) (H) (A) vote value = 1 vote 5: (H) (A) (D) vote value = 1 vote 6: (A) (H) (D) vote value = 1 vote 7: (A) (D) (H) vote value = 1 A = 2 B = 0 C = 0 D = 3 E = 0 F = 0 G = 0 H = 2 I = 0 Fewest votes won by a candidate = 2. Number of candidates with the fewest votes = 2. The tiebreaker loser is A. A is eliminated. Round 3 votes vote 1: (D) (H) vote value = 1 vote 2: (D) (H) vote value = 1 vote 3: (H) (D) vote value = 1 vote 4: (D) (H) vote value = 1 vote 5: (H) (D) vote value = 1 vote 6: (H) (D) vote value = 1 vote 7: (D) (H) vote value = 1 A = 0 B = 0 C = 0 D = 4 E = 0 F = 0 G = 0 H = 3 I = 0 Most votes currently held by a candidate = 4. Number of candidates with the greatest number of votes = 1. D has exceeded the quota and is elected. If there are seats remaining to be filled, the surplus will now be reallocated. The election is complete and the elected candidates are (D).
