HOW PREFERENTIAL BALLOTING WORKS: Instead of simply voting for one candidate, students rank order the three candidates on the ballots provided – beginning with 1 (for their first choice) and ending with 3. To provide an example, these are ballots from a homeroom of 16 students, in which there are 4 candidates: Since there are 16 students, a majority of 9 votes is needed to win in the First or Second count. The results of the First Count, taken by simply counting all the “1” ranks are:

Nancy 6, Joey 5, Michael 3, Henry 2 Since no candidate yet has 9 votes, Henry is eliminated and the ballots that named her as the first preference (these are shaded) are now used for the Second Count, which gives these votes to the candidate ranked second on each of these ballots. The updated results are:

Nancy 6 + 1 = 7, Joey 5 + 0 = 5, Michael 3 + 1 = 4 Since no candidate yet has 9 votes, Michael is eliminated and the ballots that belonged to him (these are bold) are now used for the Third Count, which gives these votes to the candidate named second on each of these ballots. On those ballots that named Henry or Michael (who have been eliminated) as their second preference, we look to the third preference. After the Third Count, the candidate with the most votes is declared the winner. Therefore, the final results are:

Nancy 7, Joey 5 + 4 = 9…JOEY WINS! NOTE: If a tie occurs after the Third Count is completed, the remaining candidate with the

most first preferences is declared the winner. While a plurality of students named Nancy first (most popular?), more of the students in this homeroom ranked Joey ahead of Nancy overall to do a better job as homeroom representative, and this fact came out in the preferential balloting procedure.
