method insures victory for candidate sup ported b y majority polling details explained by government professor board of canvassers determine results by tabulating list ings by prof e b serini the purpose of the ware system of majority preferential voting otherwise known as the single al ternative vote is to secure the elec tion of that candidate who is sup ported by a majority of the voters against all competing candidates taken both collectively and individ ually or if there be no such can didate to elect the candidate who is preferred by more than half of the voters to each of the other com petitors taken singly candidates are nominated by petition and the voter is permitted to mark his bal lot in such a way as to indicate the order of his preference this is accomplished by using the figure 1 to indicate the first choire 2 the second choice and so on until each candidate has been given a rating by the voter the marking and casting of the ballot completes the task of the voter and it then becomes necessary for a board of can vassers to determine the result the first step is to count the number of first choice votes received by each candidates and if one of them receives a number of first choice votes amounting to more than half of the total number of voters participating in the election for the office in question he is declared elected however if no can didate obtains a majority of the first choices the candidate having the least votes is declared defeated and the ballots that were distributed to him on the first choice basis are redistributed among the remain ing or continuing candidates according to the next available preference indicated on each ballot ballots redistributed totals are determined after this redistri bution of the defeated candidate's ballots and if any candidate has a majority he is elected if not the candidate with the low est total of votes at this stage of the count is eliminated and his ballots are transferred to the continuing candidates according to the preferences indicated totals are again ascertained ; and if a candidate has a ma jority he is declared elected if no can didate has received more than half of the votes at this stage of the count the pro cess of eliminating the candidate with the least votes and distributing his ballots is continued until someone obtains a majority or until only two candidates are left if all but two have been defeated it is a simple matter to find out which one is preferred by a majority of the voters ex pressing a preference between the two a careful consideration of this method of counting should convince the most skeptical that the experssion of second and third and other choices can in no way work to the disadvantage of the voter's first choice the reason is that a second choice expressed on a ballot is never counted until the first choice candidate marked thereon has been declared defeated and eliminated from the contest similarly a third choice indicated on a particular ballot will not be counted until both the first and second choices have been ui-feated if a voter merely indicates the candidate of his first choice and ex presses no preferences concerning the other competing candidates he deprives himself of the opportunity of influencing the final result of the election in case his first choice is eliminated at some stage in the count the voter has everything to gain and noth ing to lose by rating all of the candidates in the order of his preference provided of course that he has an opinion concerning the relative merits of the various nominees only one list used an unsual but unobjectionable feature of arcadia's election plan is that there will be but one list of candidates per class even though two officers president and secretary treasurer are to be chosen those charged with the responsibility of determining the election results will first ascertain the ma jority choice according to the process de scribed above the successful candidate will become the class president thereupon the name of this candidate will be stricken off each ballot and a new count will be con ducted to determine which of the remaining candidates is preferred by a majority of the voters although the effect of this ar rangement is to make all defeated con testants for the class presidency candidates for the office of secretary-treasurer a new election is rendered unnecessary because the opinion of each voter regarding the relative merits of these candidates has al ready been recorded on the ballots bethlehem pa
