elect a single winner from a field of more than two candidates. It is a preferential voting<u>
</u>system in which voters rank the candidates in order of preference rather than voting for a single candidate.</span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Lucida Console";color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

wins. Otherwise, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. Ballots assigned to the eliminated candidate are recounted and added to the totals of the remaining candidates based on who is ranked next on each ballot. This process continues until one
candidate wins by obtaining more than half the votes. Here is a link to a video that describes the system:

order) will be presented to the LTER EB for approval. In the case of ties for the fewest top choices, the tied candidate with the fewest second choices is eliminated (if those are also tied, look at third choices, etc.).<br>
