~~=== Voting and Parliament ===~~

Each phase, a vote in the [[wikipedia:Single_transferable_vote|STV style]] is held where all players are candidates and voters. Candidates who reach a quota of votes win a seat on parliament, or if no other legible candidates remain. There are [3] seats at the beginning of the game.

Players who are on parliament decide whether or not to allow a proposal to be voted on (essentially vetoing it). Half or more of parliament need to agree to pass or veto a proposal to go up for voting by all players. At the end of a phase, seats are redistributed to whoever wins the election, with parliament members failing to do so losing a seat and those who succeed keeping their seat.

~~=== Points and Winning ===~~

~~A player who receives 100 points wins the game.~~

~~The first player to win a seat in each election gains [10] points.~~

~~Second gains [8].~~

~~Third gains [5].~~

If more than one player wins a seat after a count, their rank (first, second...) is determined by whoever has the most votes. If they are still tied, both receive full points for that rank. The rank that would have been filled had there been no tie is skipped, e.g, two players win first seat, the next player wins third seat.

=== Standard Class Proposal ===

The voting period for a standard proposal is the phase that started after the proposal was submitted. A standard proposal is popular if it ~~is allowed~~ by parliament and has more votes in favor than votes against.

== Elections ==

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

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.
