Counting
The single transferable voting (STV) system is used, whereby voters rank the options in order of their preference. The primary vote of each option is then tallied, and the option with the least votes is eliminated and their votes preferentially distributed in a repeated process until one option achieves a majority. A 'seek other' option was also available for each contest, which is an option that cannot be eliminated.
