In a three‑seat constituency using the Single Transferable Vote, the Droop quota is \(\left\lfloor\dfrac{V}{S+1}\right\rfloor+1\), where \(V\) is the total valid votes and \(S\) the number of seats. With \(V = 12{,}000\) and \(S = 3\), the quota is calculated. First‑preference votes are: A 4,800, B 3,200, C 2,000, D 1,200, E 800. Identify the quota, the candidate elected on the first count, the surplus votes to be transferred, and the number of votes each remaining candidate receives when the surplus is transferred proportionally to their first‑preference totals.
