(1) In any ballot count conducted under Section 20A-4-603, the election officer may exclude candidates through batch elimination by, instead of excluding only one candidate in a ballot-counting phase, excluding each candidate:
(a) for which the number of remaining candidates with more valid votes than that candidate is greater than or equal to the number of offices to be filled; and
(b)
(i) for which the number of valid votes counted for the candidate in the phase plus the number of votes counting for all candidates with fewer valid votes in the phase is less than the number of valid votes for the candidate with the next highest amount of valid votes in the phase; or
(ii) who has fewer valid votes in the phase than a candidate who is excluded under Subsection (1)(b)(i).
(2) The requirements for a recount before excluding a candidate under Subsection 20A-4-603(5) do not apply to candidates who are excluded through batch elimination.
