* [E2] When breaking ties backwards, OpenTally selects the candidate who had more/fewer votes at the last stage when *any* tied candidate had more/fewer votes, rather than the method described in the legislation (when each all had unequal votes). The OpenTally developers regard the method described in the legislation as a defect. For an independent discussion, see <a href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/3014812.3014837">Conway et al.</a>
* [E3] A tie between 2 candidates for the final vacancy will be broken backwards then at random, rather than the method described in the legislation.
* [E4] Bulk exclusion is not performed. See the section on *Bulk exclusion* for further discussion.
* [E5] Minneapolis rules provide for more aggressive bulk exclusion than most methods, which is not implemented in OpenTally.
* [E6] The quota is always calculated to 2 decimal places. For full ERS76 (ERS73) compliance, set *Round quota to 0 d.p.* when the quota is more than 100 (100 or more).
