Anti-Harassment Tools/SecurePoll Improvements/Test Results/20 6 5100 106188776

Comments
SecurePoll elects candidates 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.

OpenSTV elects candidates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

SecurePoll's droop quota never gets low enough to elect candidate 6 (whose number of votes never exceeds 1).

This is similar to 20_6_5100_1090197746.

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.
