Oklahoma primary electoral system : ウィキペディア英語版 | Oklahoma primary electoral system
The Oklahoma primary electoral system was a voting system used to elect one winner from a pool of candidates using preferential voting. Voters rank candidates in order of preference, and their votes are initially allocated to their first-choice candidate. If, after this initial count, no candidate has a majority of votes cast, a mathematical formula comes into play. The system was used for primary elections in Oklahoma when it was adopted in 1925 until it was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma in 1926. ==System==
If there were only two candidates, then a simple first past the post election was held. However, if there were more, then voters were required to rank a certain number of candidates in order of preference (any voter who did not rank enough candidates would have the ballot voided): in a contest with three or four candidates contest, each elector would get two choices, and in a five-or-more-candidate race, three choices. In the event that no single person received a majority of the first-preference votes, every candidate would have half the number of second-preference votes added to their total. If, after this, any candidate who had a majority of votes cast would be declared winner; if not, and there were only two preferences expressed, the winner would be whoever had the higher total. If, however, there were five or more candidates and none held a majority after this second round, then each would have one-third of the third-preference votes added on, and after this, whoever had the highest total would be declared winner.〔
