Five voters, five seats, seven candidates. Two voters share Kai and split on a second name (Lena, Milo); the other three all approve the same slate of four (Nora, Omar, Pia, Quinn). Approval seats the four-strong slate plus Kai. Under PAV, seq-Phragmén and the Method of Equal Shares the answer is the SAME committee — and that is what makes this example sharp: the proportional rules cannot keep it together after Kai resigns, and Approval can. The after half is `resign_av_holds_after_kai_c6_b5.yaml`. ballots: |- Kai,Lena,Milo,Nora,Omar,Pia,Quinn 1,1,0,0,0,0,0 # Kai + Lena 1,0,1,0,0,0,0 # Kai + Milo 0,0,0,1,1,1,1 # the slate 0,0,0,1,1,1,1 # the slate 0,0,0,1,1,1,1 # the slate expected_winners: [Kai, Nora, Omar, Pia, Quinn] ====================================================================== TABULATION RESULTS ====================================================================== --- Approval Voting (5 winners) --- Tabulating 5 ballots (any non-zero score = approval).
