# 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 multiple candidates reach the quota, the rank of their seat is determined by number of votes. If they tie they each get the same rank, then the number of tied seats minus one of subsequent ranked seats are skipped.

#* If this would fill more seats than available, ~~randomness~~ is ~~used~~ to ~~determine which~~ of ~~these candidates receive seats~~.

#* If this would fill more seats than available, the candidates with the most votes win seats. If there is a tie that would result in an excess number of seats, the winners will be determined randomly.

#* When a candidate reaches the quota, their votes are all transferred to each of their second choices at a reduced value, determined by the number of surplus votes divided by the total votes.

# 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.
