Countback · 174th Senatorial Election

Jotan’s seat

A vacancy filled from the ballots already cast. Nobody voted again: the original ballots were re-read with the sitting members taken out, and the seat went to whoever the electorate had the most support left for.

The countback, round by round 5 rounds

The weight that bought the vacated seat is refunded to the ballots that spent it — the seat has been handed back, so the payment is returned. Weight spent on every other seat stays spent, which is what keeps the rest of the chamber proportional. The bar then walks down from 5 as usual.

Support against the quota — the line is one quota. A bar reaching it can pay for a seat.
The electorate's voting power. One square per ballot, full when unspent and draining as it pays for seats.
  1. Round 1 Bar at 4 Bar lowered

    No remaining candidate was scored 5 or more by enough of the electorate to make a quota, so the bar drops to 4.

  5. Round 5 qd1m elected

    No one can reach a quota even at the lowest bar, so the last seats go on remaining support. qd1m held the most unspent ballot weight (2.101) and takes the seat; those ballots are now spent.
