Comments
SecurePoll eliminates all candidates. I assume this is because all the candidates have equal votes. In this case, I think we plan to defer to the election admins how to proceed.

This is possibly the same/similar to 20_6_5100_319413701, 20_6_5000_2048397232 and 5_3_100.

Rounds table
The following table describes the calculations that happened in order to achieve the result above. In each round of calculation, the candidate(s) who achieved more votes than the quota are declared elected. Their surplus votes above the quota are redistributed to the remaining candidates. If nobody achieves the quota, the lowest ranking candidate is eliminated and their votes are redistributed to the remaining candidates. To understand this better, please refer to this link.
