There are two possibilities when it comes to vote transfers.
First of all, there is the situation where there are surplus votes—that is, a candidate has received more than the required number of votes. In that case, all the ballots are examined to determine who would be the second or next possibility.
There is an additional situation where no one, in a given step, meets the quota. That is a separate case. In that circumstance, the person having received the fewest votes is eliminated. According to the process, the votes cast for each nominee are examined and their votes are transferred to other nominees.
