SCHEDULE-III
PART `A'
ILLUSTRATION
[See rule 132]
Let it be assumed that there are ten Members to be elected and there are
twenty candidates, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T.
1. FIRST COUNT
Each valid voting paper is deemed to be of the value of 100 and the values
of the votes obtained by the respective candidates are as shown in the first count in
the Result Sheet.
The Quota
Ascertainment of quota.— It is found that the full total values in all the
parcels is 4000. This total is divided by l1 (i.e., the number which exceeds by one,
the number of vacancies to be filled), and 364 (the quotient 363 disregarding the
102
fractional remainder increased by (1) is the ―Quota‖, the value sufficient to secure
the return of a candidate.
Candidate with quota deemed to be elected.— A‘s and B‘s values each
exceed the quota and they are thus deemed to be elected. .
2. SECOND COUNT
to C…………………………………………………… 200
to D…………………………………………………… 100
to F…………………………………………………… 100
to L…………………………………………………… 100
Total value of transferable papers 500
Total value of non-transferable papers 100
103
All the transferable papers are transferred, but at a reduced value, which is
ascertained by dividing the surplus by the number of transferable papers. The
reduced value of all the papers, when added together, with the addition of any value
lost as the result of fractions being disregarded, equals the surplus. In this case the
new value of each paper transferred is 236 (the surplus ÷ 5 (the number of
transferable papers) = 47; the residue of the value of the five transferable papers,
namely, 264 together with the non-transferable paper at its original value of 100,
being required by A to constitute his quota. The loss of value owing to fractions
being disregarded, as shown in the Result Sheet, is I.
The values of the sub-parcels transferred are:—
C-94 (i.e., 2 papers at the value of 47).
D-47 (i.e., 1 paper at the value of 47).
F-47 (i.e., 1 paper at the value of 47)
L-47 (i.e., 1 paper at the value of 47).
The operations involved are summarized in the following table:—
TRANSFER OF A's SURPLUS

Names of candidates indicated as the next No. of papers to

D ……………………………………………… 1 47
F ……………………………………………… 1 47
L

…………………………………………………
Total.. 5 235
Number of non-transferable papers …… 1 —
Loss of value owing to disregarding of fractions — 1
Total.. 6 236
The result of this operation is as shown on the Result Sheet under the
heading Second Count.
104
3. THIRD COUNT
Transfer of surplus arising at a prior count.— C now has surplus, which
it is necessary to transfer, but B‘s surplus, having arisen at a prior count, is first
transferred.
B‘s surplus of 36 is transferred in a similar manner to A‘s but as there are
no non-transferable papers, the value at which these papers are transferred is 36 / 4
= 9.
The surplus is distributed, according to next available preferences, as
follows:—
D — (1 x 9)………………………………………….. 9
G — (1 x 9) …………………………………………. 9
L — (1 x 9) ………………………………………… 9
M — (1 x 9) ………………………………………… 9
Loss of value owing to disregard of fraction………… Nil
Total 36
4. FOURTH COUNT
Transfer of surplus only sub-parcel last received examined.— C‘s surplus
of 30 is next to be transferred. In this case only the last sub-parcel received by C is
taken into account. This sub-parcel consists of two papers transferred from A at the
value of 47 each.
Surplus less than total value of the transferable papers.— The details are
as follows:
The papers are transferred at the value of 15 and this value is credited to M
and N respectively, as shown on the Result Sheet.
5. FIFTH COUNT
Exclusion of a candidate.— No candidate now has a surplus, and one
candidate has to be excluded. At the end of the fourth count, the lowest value
credited to any candidate is 100. There are, however, six candidates to whom this
value is credited, viz., O, P, Q, R, S, T who are also credited with equal values at all
105
counts. One of these candidates has to be excluded. Two alternatives can be
followed to do so.
Alternative-I.— The Returning Officer draws lots and O is excluded in
this way.
Alternative-II.— The Returning Officer accordingly arranges the papers of
these six candidates according to the next available
preference recorded thereon for continuing candidates
(including candidates O, P, Q, R, S, T)
The result of this arrangement is as follows:—
On O‘s paper the next available preference is. indicated for T
On P‘s paper the next available preference is indicated for S.
On Q‘s paper the next available preference is indicated for R.
On R‘s paper the next available preference is indicated for Q.
On S‘s paper the next available preference is indicated for P.
On T‘s paper the next available preference is indicated for M.
The values are therefore:—
for M 100
for O Nil
for P 100
for Q 100
for R 100
for S 100
for T 100
Thus the smallest value of next available preference indicated for
candidates O, P, Q, R, S, T, is that shown for O i.e. Nil.
Transfer at original value:— O is accordingly excluded. O‘s parcel
consists of one original paper which is transferred to T at its value of 100 (there are
no sub-parcels).
6. SIXTH COUNT
Determination by lot.— No candidate has a surplus, and there are
now four candidates equal and lowest. As a result of similar procedure it is found
that the values of the next available preferences are in this case equal for each of the
candidates in question; the Returning Officer therefore determines by lot which of
the candidates namely P, Q, R, S, is to be excluded.
The slip of paper containing the name of S is drawn first, S is thus
excluded and the value of this paper (100) is transferred to P.
7. SEVENTH COUNT
Similarly R is excluded, and the value of his original vote (100) is
transferred to Q, the next available preference.
106
8. EIGHTH COUNT
No candidate has a surplus, N is lowest, and is excluded. N‘s parcel of
original votes contains 1 paper on which a next available preference is indicated for
H. The value of this paper is 100, its original value.
Transfer of sub -Parcel containing transferred votes.— The sub-parcel
first received contains 1 paper which N received at a value of 15, and on which the
next available preference is indicated for M.
The papers are transferred as follows: —
To H 1 paper at the value of 100
To M 1 paper at the value of 15
Each of these transfers is carried out separately, but the combined result is
shown on the Result Sheet under the heading Eighth Count.
9. NINTH COUNT
There is still no surplus, M being credited with the lowest value, has to be
excluded.
His parcel contains l original paper, on which the next available
preference is expressed for E; this paper is, therefore, transferred to E at the value of
100. The value of E‘s votes now exceeds the quota, and he is declared elected.
M has also three sub-parcels, as follows:—
(a) Sub-parcel received first, containing 1 paper at the value of 9. This
paper bears a next preference for E, but as E is now elected; this
paper is not given to E but is transferred instead to the next available
preference after E, which is I.
(b) Sub-parcel received second, containing 1 paper at the value of 15.
The next available preference on this paper is for P.
(c) Sub-parcel received third, containing 1 paper at the value of 15. This
paper bears a next available preference for T.
107
11. ELEVENTH COUNT
L is now lowest.
His parcel of original votes contains one paper, on which F is indicated as
next preference.
This paper is transferred to F at the value of 100.
The sub-parcel first received contains one paper received at the value of
47, indicating no further available preference.
This paper is non-transferable at its value of 47.
In the sub-parcel net received, the paper contained therein indicates J as the
next available preference.
This paper is transferred to J at its value of 9.
12. TWELFTH COUNT
Two candidates equal and lowest. Regard had to total value of original
votes.— There is still no surplus. Two candidates are lowest, and are equal, K and Q
being each credited with the value of 200. Regard is therefore had to the total-value
of original votes credited to these candidates, K had 200 and Q 100. Q is therefore,
excluded.
(a) On examination of Q's parcels, it is found that in the parcel of
original votes there is one paper on which no preference is
indicated for a continuing candidate. (This paper indicated a
next preference for R who has been already excluded).
The value of 100 is added to the value of the non-transferable papers not
effective in respect of the parcel.
The value of 100 is credited to K in respect of sub-parcel.
13. THIRTEENTH COUNT
Regard had to first count at which values were unequal.— There are now
three candidates lowest, viz, G, I, J, the value in each case being 209.
The values were equal at the first count, and regard is therefore had to the
earliest count at which they had unequal values.
108
J‘s parcel of original votes is examined and found to contain 2 papers
(original value of 100 each).
On one paper the next available preference is indicated for G and on the
other paper no preference is indicated for a continuing candidate.
The paper is accordingly transferred to G at a value of 100 and the non-
transferable paper set aside at the value of 100.
The sub-parcel contains one paper received at the value of 9, which
indicates I as next available preference. This paper is transferred to I at the value of
9.
14. FOURTEENTH COUNT
G and 1, having each received votes by transfer on the thirteenth count, are
no longer lowest; each has more votes than P, who is lowest with 215.
P is therefore excluded.
His parcel and sub-parcels (two) are similarly examined, and it is found
that the next available preference on the original vote was for I.
Note: The next preference was for S, who at this count is not a continuing
candidate, having been excluded.
(a) In the sub-parcel first received, containing one paper (at the sixth
count at the value of 100), a next available preference is indicated
for T.
(b) In the next sub-parcel, containing one paper received at the value
of 15 (ninth count), no further available preference is indicated.
The paper at (a) is transferred to T at the value of 100.
The paper at (b) is set aside as not effective at the value of 15.
There are now six vacancies remaining to be filled, and there are seven
continuing candidates. Two of these candidates, H and K, are lowest, but are equal.
Upon examination it is found that at the first count (viz. the eighth), at which the
values credited to them were unequal, K was lowest, K is, therefore, formally
excluded. Thus the number of continuing candidates is equal to the number of
vacancies remaining unfilled:
Last vacancies.— These remaining vacancies being filled, no further
transfer is required.

ILLUSTRATION
[See rule 132]
Let it be assumed that there are 19 seats which include 5 reserved seats for
Ulema, technocrats and other professionals.
23 candidates are seeking election to general seats and of them 11
candidates are for reserved seats.
The procedure for election is as under:—
(a) All the candidates are listed on one ballot paper but the candidates
for general and special seats are listed under separate categories ―G‖
and ―S‖.
(b) Every voter has to record 19 preferences on one ballot paper. 5
preferences must be recorded in category ―S‖.
(c) Counting of votes will be-done together. 14 candidates scoring the
highest votes in category ―G‖ and 5 candidates scoring the highest
votes in category ―S‖ will be declared elected, regardless of whether
there are some candidates in category ―G‖ whose scores are higher
than those declared elected in category ―S‖ or vice versa.
The following is the practical example:
