*Candidates Andrew Talone and Brisa Lee were tied as the lowest in Round 1. In that situation, the software randomly chooses a candidate to eliminate. In Round 2.1, the software chose candidate Brisa Lee.
**To confirm that the results would remain the same if candidate Andrew Talone has been eliminated, the election was re-run after forcing that choice.
No matter which way the tie in Round 1 is broken, the other candidate receives the least votes in Round 2. Thus, in Round 3: Count after eliminating Andrew Talone* OR Brisa Lee** and transferring votes.
