Details of the voting system:
*In the first round, the first choice votes are counted, any bid without any votes, as well as the one with the least votes will be eliminated.
*The second choice (or third choice if second has already been eliminated) votes of voters of eliminated bids will be counted in the vote tally.
*In the case of a tie, whichever bid has less first choice votes gets eliminated.
