174th Senatorial Election

Take one member out

For each of the 10 senators, the count has been re-run over the same ballots with that person removed from the field. It shows how much of the chamber each seat is holding up.

This is not a countback. A countback fills one vacancy and leaves the rest of the chamber alone. This re-runs the whole election without a candidate, which can move other seats too — and that difference is the point of the table. The two coincide only for the last seat filled, where this paper’s answer matches the Electoral Commission’s published countback exactly.

The pattern is not random. A seat filled in the second phase — out of whatever ballot weight was left over — passes cleanly, because nothing was bought with that weight afterwards. A seat won at a threshold does not: remove its holder and the weight they spent returns to play, which changes who can afford the residual seats at the bottom of the chamber. That is why the same name keeps appearing in the last column.

Next in line if the count simply kept going

The same ballots, the same quota, the same leftover voting power — the count just not stopped at the last seat. This is not a countback, because nothing is refunded: it is the order these ballots put people in once the chamber is full.
