The article makes no mention of how to handle multiple candidates at the same rank. I know that some suggestions for this have been thrown around on the election-methods list, but have any been used in a real election?

: The established process is that if more than one candidate has an equal value then looking back in the count the candidate that had the lowest score is excluded first. If no candidate has a lower rating then the tie is broken by drawing lots. By retaining the remainder of any division with the value of the vote reduces the likely hood of a draw situation. The other option that needs to be considered is the question of bulk exclusion in which case the order of exclusion does not matter or effect the outcome of the election [[Special:Contributions/123.200.221.128|123.200.221.128]] ([[User talk:123.200.221.128|talk]]) 23:48, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
