We had 2 rounds: an elimination round and a Single Transferable Vote Round (also known as Alternative vote).
Round 1: Candidates needed at least 3 votes to advance to round 2.

Round 2: There were 3 "waves" of elections in Round 2. Staff ranked the 5 candidates in order of preference. Canidates needed a majority of votes in one of the waves to get the staff position. After a player wins a mod position in Wave 1, the mod-elect will be dropped from voters' ballots while the candidates below them are moved up 1 in preference. If in any wave a majority cannot be reached, Single Transferable Vote is used (but thankfully this was unnecessary).
- If you actually care about how I'm going to do the boring task of counting ballots and the above explanation didn't help, here is an example:
My (fantasy) ballot:
1. Jane_Doe
2. George_Washington
3. Abraham_Lincoln
4. Unknown_Mage
5. Edmund_Barton
6. Winston_Churchill
Wave 1: I vote for Jane_Doe as my 1st choice. She wins the 1st wave.
My ballot now looks like this:
1. George_Washington
2. Abraham_Lincoln
3. Unknown_Mage
4. Edmund_Barton
5. Winston_Churchill
Wave 2: I vote for George_Washington as my 1st choice but Abraham_Lincoln wins the 2nd wave.
My ballot now looks like this:
1. George_Washington
2. Unknown_Mage
3. Sir_Edmund_Barton
4. Winston_Churchill
Wave 3: In a very close 3rd wave, Unknown_Mage wins the 3rd wave.
