Comments

There is a discrepancy in candidates elected by SecurePoll and OpenSTV due to the way SecurePoll eliminates candidates.

SecurePoll elects candidates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, leaving the last seat unfilled.

OpenSTV elects candidates 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 16, the last candidate being chosen randomly.
