Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

In any ballot count conducted under Section 20A-4-603, the election officer may exclude candidates through batch elimination by, instead of excluding only one candidate in a ballot-counting phase, excluding each candidate:

(1) for which the number of remaining candidates with more valid rankings than that candidate is greater than or equal to the number of offices to be filled; and

(2)(a) for which the number of valid rankings counted for the candidate in the ballot-counting phase plus the number of rankings counted for all candidates with fewer valid rankings in the ballot-counting phase is less than the number of valid rankings for the candidate with the next highest amount of valid rankings in the ballot-counting phase; or

(b) who has fewer valid rankings in the ballot-counting phase than a candidate who is excluded under Subsection (2)(a).
