Quota - Today - 24th DEC

Folks,

Today is the day for fixing the quota. The system of ICAI election counting process for quota fixing is as follows:

1. First Step is to open all the postal ballots received on time (1107 this time) and to determine the invalid postal ballots to find the valid postal ballots
2. Second step is to open all the sealed ballot boxes of central and regional council of 125 polling booths. Booth wise the tally sheet of the polling venue will be checked and tallied with the ballot papers inside the ballot boxes and to determine the invalid ballots to find the valid booth ballots
3. Third step is to add both the valid postal ballots + valid booth ballots = Total valid votes
4. Fourth step is to find the quota. The droop quota (ICAI method) is:

Instant-runoff voting (IRV), alternative vote (AV), transferable voting, or preferential voting is an electoral system used to elect a single winner from a field of more than two candidates. It is a form of preferential voting (or ranked choice voting) in which voters rank the candidates in order of preference rather than simply selecting a single candidate. The flowchart for STV counting in diagram given below for ready reference:
