<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Worldcon Site Selection for the [[2008]] [[Worldcon]] held at [[L.A.con IV]] in 2006. Balloting concluded in 6pm on Saturday, and as no bidder had an absolute majority on the first ballot, counting followed the run-off procedures described under [[Site Selection ballot counting]].<br />
<br />
Only [[Columbus in 2007]], [[Chicago in 2008]] and [[Denver in 2008]] completed their [[bid filing]], so the other sites which got votes were ineligible.<br />

'''Round 2.'''<br />
No bidder had 759 votes, so another round was needed. For this round, None of the Above and non-filed bids were dropped, and any ballot with one of them listed first was re-distributed to the voters' second choice. (Votes in parentheses were dropped.):<br />

'''Round 3.'''<br />
There was still no winner, so the remaining bidder with the fewest first-place votes -- [[Columbus in 2008]] was dropped and their votes redistributed to the voter's second (or third in some cases) choice. (Votes in parenthesis were dropped.)<br />

<br />
This yielded a ''very'' narrow victory 12-vote for [[Denver in 2008]]. <br />
<br />
When there is no first-round winner, an extra step is required to confirm that the winner after eliminations is preferred to none-of-the-above (see [[Site Selection ballot counting]]). This is done to prevent a victory by a disliked minor bid in a race with many contestants splitting the vote.<br />
