Methodology

Notonfigo ballot paper (2016 election)

Voting

Eligible voters cast their ballot on a single piece of paper displaying each of the parties and candidates for their district. Using a single transferable voting system, they can rank all the parties (left side) or can rank at least 8 candidates (right side).

Voting example A

Voting example B

The leader of the party with the most seats in Parliament is elected President, and the leader of the party with the second-most seats in Parliament is elected Vice-President. If either the party with the most seats or second-most seats is tied, a President/Vice-President will be elected by a majority vote in Parliament (excluding members of the tied parties). If this vote is still tied, a national direct vote will select the relevant position.

Counting

Firstly, votes are distributed to the candidate whom voters placed a 1 next to. If no candidate has reached the indicated quota, the number of votes that are needed for a candidate to be elected, then the candidate/s with the lowest number of votes is eliminated, and those who voted for the eliminated candidate/s will have their vote distributed to their second preference.

If there is a candidate with an excess of votes, all the second preferences of their voters will be distributed in a ratio, so that the original candidate has the number of votes needed to fulfil the quota. This process continues until all five member positions in a district have been filled from obtaining the quota.
