Example of preferential voting showing how an increase in support for an alternative can turn it from a winner into a loser. Numbers in the table are the number of votes received for each alternative
| A1 | A2 | A1 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Decision 1 | |||
| Round 1 | 11 | 8 | 10 |
| Round 2 | 11 | 18 | |
| Decision 2 | |||
| Round 1 | 7 | 8 | 14 |
| Round 2 | 15 | 14 |
The only change between decision 1 and decision 2 is that in Decision 2, support for A3 increases in the form of 4 votes moving from A1 to A3.
