# If a candidate has more votes for them than required by the quota, the surplus votes for them are considered the 'surplus'. The sum total of all candidates' surplus in this iteration is considered the surplus of votes of this iteration. The surplus of votes of this iteration is then divided by the number of valid ballots in this election, and that possibly fractional number is, for the remainder of this election, awarded as additional voting power to the voters who have any of the candidates that have surplus in this iteration as their nth preference on their ballot. For a voter to have additional voting power ''p'' means that when votes are counted their vote does not count as one (1) vote but as one plus their additional voting power-many (1+p) votes. | # If a candidate has more votes for them than required by the quota, the surplus votes for them are considered the 'surplus'.
