 When bulk exclusion is enabled, as many candidates as possible are excluded together in each single stage, provided that sufficient candidates remain to fill the vacancies, and the bulk exclusion could not change the order of exclusion. If 2 or more candidates are tied, either all are bulk excluded or none are. The ballot papers of all excluded candidates are considered together, and transferred according to the *Exclusion method*.
 
-Note that some rules (such as the Australian Senate rules) provide for more conservative ‘bulk exclusion’ which additionally requires that the bulk exclusion cannot cause a candidate to be elected. This form of bulk exclusion accordingly cannot change the result compared with no bulk exclusion (except as far as rounding may be concerned), and is not supported.

 When deferred surpluses is disabled (default), all surpluses must be transferred before candidates can be excluded.

 When *Surplus method* is set to *Meek method*, this option allows you to specify when the distribution of surpluses will be considered complete. The tolerance may be specified either as a percentage (ends with a `%`) or absolute number of votes (no `%`):
 
 * Percentage: Surplus distributions will be considered complete when every elected candidate's surplus exceeds the quota by no more than the specified percentage. This is the method specified in the 1987 Meek rules.
-* Absolute number of votes: Surplus distributions will be considered complete when the total surpluses of all elected candidates is no greater than the specified number of votes. This is the simpler method specified in the 2006 Meek rules.
+* Absolute number of votes: Surplus distributions will be considered complete when the total surpluses of all elected candidates, when summed together, is no greater than the specified number of votes. This is the simpler method specified in the 2006 Meek rules.

 The algorithm takes a *seed* value, which is an arbitrary character string. The algorithm has, in its internal state, a *counter*, whose value is initially 0.
 
-In order to generate a value between 0 (inclusive) and *n* (exclusive), to the state is appended a comma (",") followed by the value of the counter, and a SHA-256 hash *H* is computed of the resulting string encoded using UTF-8.
