______________________________________________
Voting
Each voter ranks at least one candidate in order of preference. In most Australian elections, voters are required to rank all candidates. In other elections, votes may be "truncated", for example if the voter only ranks his first five choices.
[edit]
Counting the votes
First choices are tallied. If no candidate has the support of a majority of voters, the candidate with the least support is eliminated. A second round of counting takes place, with the votes of supporters of the eliminated candidate now counting for their second choice candidate. After a candidate is eliminated, he or she may not receive any more votes.
This process of counting and eliminating is repeated until one candidate has over half the votes. This is equivalent to continuing until there is only one candidate left. However it is possible, with voter truncation, for the process to continue until there is only one candidate left, who does not end up with more than half the votes.
Rules for voting
* Have at least 100 posts and have registered on Gaia before January 8, 2005.
* List the canidates in order of preference.
* Do not post anything else.
* This elections will be over as of tommorow at 8:00 PM EST.
* Do not post more than once.
