Lemme try to remind anyone who forgot things.
The elections go that if an election has less than 95% voter turnout, the election is null in void and a new election is held.
There are 661 hunters, so that requires 628 voters.
If a person abstains or they give an invalid vote, then that counts as not voting.
They mentioned that the invalid votes are things like not writing your name on the ballot, not voting for an eligible person, etc.
Once a valid election is held in terms of voter turnout, then the next condition has to be met, which is the winner must have a 50% majority.
If they have the voter turnout, but no one has more than 50% of the votes, then a new election is held with only the top 16 being eligible candidates, so the votes will be less spread out. If that gets the voter turnout, but not the 50%, then a new election is held with the top 8 of that, and it keeps lowering.
If the voter turnout is over 95% and one person gets over 50% of the votes, that election is successful and the winner is the new President.
The first election had 580 votes. So it didn't meet the "valid number of votes", so it was done over. The same number of candidates (everyone).
But even if it weren't, no one had over 50% of the votes. Pariston only had 37.6%
The second election had 583 valid votes, still far less then the valid 95%. That's 88.2%. So that one is also done over with the same number of candidates. Pariston had 37.9%.
The problem that arises is that they can't get enough valid votes. However, there were 45 invalid votes in the second election. If ALL of those people voted properly it would be 628 votes, and would just make the 95% voter turnout. So the Jyuuni Shin are debating adding penalties to people who don't vote to encourage voting properly, otherwise they'll be stuck in deadlock, never lowering the number of candidates or getting someone with over 50% of the vote.
That's why they made arguments about "We just need to get the ones voting to vote properly, after that it won't matter". As in, only accepting Pariston's first condition, to check that the ballots are valid before they leave. Because then the election can be held with 95% voter turnout. Even without the 50% majority, re-elections will just keep being held until there is one lowering the number of candidates each time. But Pariston wanted two conditions, the second being to penalize people who don't vote by revoking their Hunter Licenses.
If in this case, those people didn't count as Hunters at all anymore and couldn't vote, then the number of voters needed to reach a95% voter turnout and a 50% majority would be less. That way Pariston's votes would have more value, he'd have a percentage larger than 37.9%. So you could call that "tampering with the election" into his favor.
The way Pariston can lose is:
When the number of possible candidates decreases, those people vote for someone besides Pariston, and that person gets to the 50% mark before he does. Also more than 95% of the votes need to be valid before that can happen.
That, or some sudden shift happens and everyone votes for someone else. Currently Cheadle is in 2nd place.
And this is off of that topic, but Illumi said he doesn't want Killua or Gon dead.
Also, can anyone point out where it is Kalluto said he was searching for Alluka? Because I don't remember that, and it might've been a mistranslation.
Edit: I looked it up. Kalluto says on page 87 of volume 22 "I need to become stronger so I can take back my big brother." Doesn't say anything about "finding". Also it doesn't say which big brother. Kalluto is the youngest of the 5 siblings.
I also hope you guys noticed, that when Killua left Silva after the arc where he went home, Silva told him "promise never to betray your friends" and Killua promised, and they sealed it pressing their bleeding thumbs together like that. Which is why Killua brought up how he couldn't betray his friend in this chapter.
Speaking of which, can anyone point me out where it says that the Zoldyck's have 5 sons? Specifically that they're sons and not just siblings. I've never been able to find that. I'm just assuming Alluka is a boy because people say he shouldbe.
