The quota is arrived at by dividing the total valid poll by the number of seats plus 1 and adding 1 to the answer ignoring the fraction.
Example: Valid Poll is 60,542 and there are 4 seats. Therefore 60,542 /(4+1) = 12,108 plus 1 = 12,109.
Next candidate No 1 gets 13,109 which is 1000 more than required and is deemed elected. There is a surplus of 1,000. What happens next?
