Editing Majority (section)

=== Scenario 3 ===
{| class="wikitable"
|-
!Candidate !! Votes
|-
|Alice || 10
|-
|Bob || 6
|-
|Carol (ineligible) || 4
|-
!Total !! 20
|}

In Scenario 3, assume that Alice and Bob are eligible candidates, but Carol is not. Using ''[[Robert's Rules of Order]]'', no one received a majority vote, which is the same as Scenario 2. In this case, the 4 votes for Carol are counted in the total, but are not credited to Carol (which precludes the possibility of an ineligible candidate being credited with receiving a majority vote). However, using ''[[The Standard Code of Parliamentary Procedure|The Standard Code]]'', Alice received a majority vote since only votes for eligible candidates are counted. In this case, there are 16 votes for eligible candidates and Alice received more than half of those 16 votes.
