Does that mean you'll eat your hat if you win?

Eeh there's always one.
Turnout for the presidential elections has been better than I ever expected them to be. In total there was 208 individual votes cast, not counting multiple votes or spoiled papers.
I'll now briefly overrun the rules
Everyone who wanted to voted for the candidates in order of personal preference. Some voted for just one, some for all 15 but in the end it was up to the individual.
How it's going to work is for each round the number of first choice votes are counted. If there's no candidate with at least 50% of the vote share, the candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated.
Anyone who voted for said candidate will have their next choice candidate as their new first choice. Repeat ad nauseum until someone wins.
Everybody happy?
