Immediately after the bells stop ringing, all the entrances to the Lobby shall be locked and the Assembly staff posted at each entrance shall not allow any entry or exit through those entrances until the voting has concluded.

2. The Speaker shall then read out the names of the candidates in case of election of the Chief Minister under rule 20 or as the case may be, the resolution under rule 22 or rule 23 before the Assembly and ask the members who wish to vote in favour of a candidate/resolution to pass in single file through the entrance where tellers shall be posted to record the votes. On reaching the desk of the tellers, each member shall, in turn, call out the division number allotted to him under these rules. The tellers shall then mark off his number on the division list simultaneously calling out the name of the member. In order to ensure that his vote has been properly recorded, the member shall not move off until he has clearly heard the teller call out his name. After a member has recorded his vote, he shall not return to the Chamber until bells are rung under para 3.

3. When the Speaker finds that all the members who wished to vote have recorded their votes, he shall announce that the voting has concluded. Thereupon the [4][Secretary General] shall cause the division list to be collected, count the recorded votes and present the result of the count to the Speaker. The Speaker shall then direct that the bells be rung for two minutes to enable the members to return to the Chamber.

(5) The process directed by this paragraph shall be repeated on the successive exclusions one after another of the candidate lowest on the pool until the last vacancy is filled either by the election of a candidate with the quota or as hereinafter provided.

XVI. If as the result of a transfer of papers under the provisions of this Schedule, the value of the votes obtained by a candidate is equal to or greater than the quota, the transfer then proceeding shall be completed, but no further papers shall be transferred to him.

XVII. (1) If after the completion of any transfer under these paragraphs the value of the votes of any candidate shall be equal to or greater than the quota, he shall be declared elected.

(2) If the value of the votes of any such candidate shall be equal to the quota, the whole of the papers on which such votes are recorded shall be set aside as finally dealt with.

Appendix

Illustrative Election

Example of an Election Conducted on the System of a Single Transferable Vote in Accordance with the Preceding Paragraphs

Assuming that there are seven members to be elected, sixteen candidates, and one hundred and forty electors.[9]

The valid ballot papers are arranged in separate parcels according to the first preference recorded for each candidates, and the papers in each parcel counted.

Let it be assumed that the result is as follows:-

A .. .. .. 12

B .. .. .. 8

C .. .. .. 6

D .. .. .. 9

E .. .. .. 10

F .. .. .. 7

G .. .. .. 4

L .. .. .. 8

M .. .. .. 10

N .. .. .. 6

O .. .. .. 4

P .. .. .. 5

____

Total 140

‑‑‑‑‑‑

Each valid ballot paper is deemed to be of the value of one hundred and the values of the votes obtained by the respective candidates are as shown in the first column of the result sheet.[10]

The values of all the papers are added together and the total 14,000 is divided by eight (if the number which exceeds by one the number of vacancies to be filled) and 1,751 (of the quotient, 1,750, increased by one) is the number sufficient to secure the return of a number and is called the quota.[11] The operation may be shown thus –

14,000

Quota = ‑‑‑‑‑––– +1 = 1,750+1 = 1,751

8

The candidate H, the value of whose votes, exceeds quota, is declared elected.[12]

As the value of the papers in H's parcel exceeds the quota, this surplus must be transferred. His surplus is 149 (if 1,900 less 1,751).[13]

The surplus arises from original votes, and, therefore, the whole of H's papers are divided into sub-parcels according to the next preferences recorded thereon, a separate parcel of the exhausted papers being also made.[14]

Let it be assumed that the result is as follows –

(B) is marked as next available preference on 7

(D) is marked as next available preference on 4

(E) is marked as next available preference on 4

(F) is marked as next available preference on 3

The values of the papers in the sub-parcels are as follows[15]:-

(B) .. .. .. 700

(D) .. .. .. 400

(E) .. .. .. 400

(F) .. .. .. 300

______

Total value of unexhausted papers 1,800

––––––

Value of exhausted papers 100

––––––

Total value of papers 1,900

––––––

The value of the unexhausted papers is 1,800 and is greater than the surplus. This surplus is, therefore, transferred as follows[16]:-

All the papers are transferred, but at a reduced value, which is ascertained by dividing the surplus by number of unexhausted papers.

The reduced value of all the papers, when added together, with the addition of any value lost as the result of the neglect of fractions, equals the surplus. In this case the new value of each paper transferred is –

149 (the surplus)

_________________________________ = 8, the residue of

18 (the number of unexhausted papers)

the value, 92, being required by H for the purpose of constituting his quota, if one exhausted paper (value 100) plus the value (1,656) of 18 unexhausted papers.

The values of the sub-parcels transferred are –

B=56 (i.e. seven papers at the value of 8)

D=32 (i.e. four papers at the value of 8).

E=32 (i.e. four papers at the value of 8).

F=24 (i.e. three papers at the value of 8).

These operations can be shown on a transfer sheet as follows:-

The values of the sub-parcels are added to the values of the votes already credited to the candidates, B, D, E and F. This operation is shown on the result sheet. [17]

There being no further surplus the candidates lowest on the poll has now to be excluded. G and O both have 400.

The Returning Officer casts lots and G is chosen to be excluded.[18]

Being original votes, G's papers are transferred at the value of 100 each. A who was marked as next preference on two papers receives 200, while D and E were each next preference on one paper and received 100 each. O now being lowest is next excluded and his 400 is similarly transferred to I, B and K, I receiving 200 and B and K 100 each.[19]

This leaves J and P lowest with 500 each and J is chosen by lot for exclusion first. His papers are transferred at the value of 100 each to A, B, D and I, the first three names receiving 100 each, and I who had the next preference on two papers receiving 200. P is then excluded and his papers are transferred to E, L and K, the first two names receiving 100 each, and K, who had the next preference on three papers, receiving 300.[20]

K now exceeds the quota and is declared elected.[21]

Prior to further exclusions, K's surplus of 49 has to be distributed.[22]

The sub-parcel last transferred to K consisted of 3 votes transferred at the value of 100 each. This sub-parcel is examined; there are no exhausted papers and B, F and I are each next preference on one paper; and one paper is transferred to each of them at a reduced value determined by dividing the surplus (49) by the number of exhausted paper (3) B, F and I accordingly receive 16 each.[23]

The process of exclusion is now proceeded with. C and N have 600 each, and C is chosen by lot for exclusion first. He has 6 original votes; B, D and E are each next preference on two papers, and each receives 200. E is then excluded. A is next preference on 3 of his papers, and receives 300; F, I and L are each next preference on one paper and receive 100 each.[24]

This brings A and I above the quota and they are declared elected. Their surpluses have now to be distributed and I's surplus which is the larger, 65, is dealt with first. [25]

The last sub-parcel transferred to I consisted one paper transferred at the value of 100; D is next preference on this paper, and receives the whole surplus of 65.[26]

A's surplus of 49 is then dealt with. The last sub-parcel transferred to him consisted of 3 papers transferred at the value of 100 each. B was next preference on two of these papers and E on one, and the papers are transferred accordingly. The value to be transferred is 16 per paper, if the surplus divided by the number of the unexhausted papers (3), B accordingly receives 32 and E 16.[27]

No other candidate having reached the quota, the process of exclusion is proceeded with and F, who is now lowest with 840, is excluded.[28]

H's seven original votes are transferred first, B, D and E are next preference on three, two and two papers, respectively, and receive respectively 300, 200 and 200.

The transferred votes are next transferred in the order of their transfers to F. The 3 votes received at the value of eight each at the distribution of H's surplus are transferred at the same value to L who was next preference on all 3 papers. The two votes, received at the value of eight each at the distribution of K's surplus, go at the same value to M, who was next preference on each paper. The vote transferred at the value of 100 on the exclusion of N is then transferred at the same value to D, who thus receives a total of 300.[29]

No continuing candidate having yet reached the surplus, M, who is now lowest with 1,016 is excluded.[30]

H's ten original votes are transferred first, B and D are, first preference on three papers each, and E and L on two each, B and D accordingly receive 300 each and E and L 200 each.[31]

This brings B, D and E above the quota and they are declared elected. The requisite number of candidates having now been elected, the election is at an end, and it is unnecessary to proceed to the transfer of M's transferred votes.[32]

Full details are shown in the result sheet.

Sixth Schedule

Procedure Regarding Divisions

(see rule 208)

1. The Speaker will order a Division to be held by uttering the word "Division" and shall direct that the Division bells be rung for five minutes to enable members not present in the chamber to return to their places. Immediately after the bells stop ringing, all the entrances to the members lobby will be locked and the staff posted at each gate will not allow any entry or exit through these gates until the Division has concluded. The Speaker will then read the terms of the motion before the Assembly and put the question for second time. If the Division is still demanded, he will say "Ayes to the right, Noes to the left, divide."

2. According as they wish to vote, members will then proceed to the Ayes, or the Noes lobby and there pass in single file before the tellers. On reaching the desk of the tellers, each member will, in turn, call out the division number which has been allotted to him for this purpose. The tellers will then mark off this number on the Division list simultaneously calling out the name of the member. In order to ensure that his vote has been properly recorded the member should not move off until he has clearly heard the teller thus call out his name. The division number allotted to each member will be communicated separately. The numbers will be marked on the seat-card of each member.

3. When the voting process as described above is completed in the Division's lobbies, the tellers will present their Division lists to the [33][Secretary General] who will count the votes recorded thereon and then present the total of the "Ayes" and the "Noes" to the Speaker who will then announce the result to the Assembly. The Division will not be at an end until the result is so announced. if the number of "Ayes" and "Noes" are equal, the question will be decided by the casting vote of the Speaker.

4. In case a member's vote has been recorded both in Ayes and Noes, the Speaker shall ask him which side he intended to vote and a correction shall be made accordingly.
