[edit]Nauruu uses a modified version of AV, mostly in two-member districts. Under the Nauruan system, there are no eliminations, and preferences are counted simply as 'fractional votes'; a first preference is worth one, a second preference is worth a half, a third preference is worth a third, and so on. If no candidate has an absolute majority of first preferences, these lower-order preferences are tallied and the candidate(s) with the highest total(s) wins the seat.
