How to Determine Who is Declared Elected
You will take the total number of votes cast divided by the number of seats available. Then that total is divided by two and rounded up giving the minimum number of votes needed to win the seats outright without the need for a run-off. If for any reason the candidates do not meet the minimum number of votes, that would constitute a run-off. Here are some examples to show how the calculation works.
Example One - No Run-off
| Candidate | Number of Votes | |
| Candidate A | 2,509 | |
| Candidate B | 2,860 | |
| Candidate C | 1,985 | |
| Candidate D | 2,173 | |
| Candidate E | 2,948 | |
| Step One | Total Number of Votes | 13,475 |
| Total Number of Votes | 13,475 | |
| Total Number of Seats | 3 | |
| Step Two | First Calculation (13,475 ÷ 3) | 4,492 |
| Sum (from above) | 4,492 | |
| Step Three | Final Calculation (4,492 ÷ 2) (round up) | 2,246 (TOTAL NUMBER NEEDED TO BE DECLARED ELECTED) |
Using the example above, Candidate A, B, and E are declared elected. | ||
EXAMPLE TWO - Run-Off Required
| Candidate | Number of Votes | |
| Candidate A | 3,354 | |
| Candidate B | 3,484 | |
| Candidate C | 1,350 | |
| Candidate D | 1,339 | |
| Step One | Total Number of Votes | 9,527 |
| Total Number of Votes | 9,527 | |
| Total Number of Seats | 3 | |
| Step Two | First Calculation (9,527 ÷ 3) | 3,176 |
| Sum (from above) | 3,176 | |
| Step Three | Final Calculation (3,176 ÷ 2) (round up) | 1,588 (TOTAL NUMBER NEEDED TO BE DECLARED ELECTED) |
Using the example above, Candidate A and B are declared elected, Candidate C and D move forward to the General Election for a run-off for the final seat. Both candidates did not meet the minimum number required to be elected. | ||
