That would mean one or more vacancies, which would be dealt as with in Part III of the bill. To wit, a by-election, and if that fails, vacancies until the end of the Chamber.

Surely as long as there were five candidates, all seats would be filled-in STV normally the highest ranking candidate(s) left without a quota are deemed elected...?

If there are, say, six candidates, and three of them are not ranked by any voter. You only have to indicate a FIRST preference... I can't see that any of those three would be elected then.

A quick test run using the software indicates you are correct. But any candidate that can't even get a last-place ranking on any of a dozen or more ballots doesn't deserve to be a legislator. In the above case there would be two vacancies and thus a two-seat by-election, at which people slightly less pathetic might want to nominate.
