How to read this figure

Under At-Large Block Voting, the 10 councillors below take the seats.

Colours are the party of each councillor elected. How each ward is coloured is arbitrary, because council is elected city-wide.

How to read this figure

M = the mayor. A council rule cannot elect one person, so the mayor is elected by ranked ballot here, not by this system. Pete Fry wins.

Under Proportional Approval Voting, the 10 councillors below take the seats.
