The description leaves it somewhat unclear how you arrive at the 55 votes threshold. One could get the impression this is an arbitrary limit. Might be good to add that this is calculated from the base parameters of the elecation. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

It's the votes cast divided by the number of seats plus one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote#Setting_the_quota So in this case we have 219 divided by 4 which is 54.75. If you think about it in terms of an ordinary single person election that means the winner has to get half the votes as you would expect with the quota reducing as the number of seats increases so that for a two member election you need to get a third of the votes, for a three member election a quarter and so on.
