Exhausted ballot ranking depth
An exhausted ballot is one where all ranked candidates have been eliminated before the final round. DemoChoice usually presents exhausted ballots as votes for "None of these" winning or remaining candidates. This table shows how many exhausted ballots ranked exactly n valid (non-excluded) candidates. Ballots that ranked an excluded candidate do not count that ranking here.
A ballot in the “0” row ranked no valid candidates at all. Ballots that ranked at least one surviving candidate are not exhausted and are not shown here.
