There will be eleven elected. There is no minimum votes necessary to be
elected. We could have four people with 150 votes each and seven people
with 2 votes each - not likely but...

>From my point of view, if you do not vote for 11, and vote (say) for only
four, all you are doing is letting someone else determine who are the
"other 7"

The concept of a "bullet vote" sounds like a concept one might foist on a
group in an attempt to "steal the majority" of seats.

I will defer to a statistician...
