Editing Cycle 17/Ruleset Draft (section)

== Elections ==
Each election phase, an election is held where all players are both candidates and voters.

Each voter may send an ordered list of candidates in #elections as their vote. At the end of the election phase, the following process is repeated until all seats have been allocated, with n initially 1 and incremented by 1 at each iteration: 

# The Droop Quota is calculated according to Q = ⌊ V / (S + 1) ⌋ + 1, where V is the number of votes and S is the number of seats to fill.
# nth preference votes are counted. Any candidates that reach the quota are awarded seats.
#* If multiple candidates reach the quota, the rank of their seat is determined by number of votes. If they have the same number they tie, and the next ranked seat is skipped.
#* If this would fill more seats than available, randomness is used to determine which of these candidates receive seats.
# Of the candidates that reach the quota, any surplus votes for them are divided amongst the nth place voters and awarded as their (n  + 1) th preference votes.

The elected players hold their seats for the following governance phase and next election phase.
