13 candidates and nobody gets 50% in the first column.
For the top two vote getters, they add the second and third column votes.

Is the winner the one with the most votes, even if they don't get 50%?
50% of X voters, or 50% of 3X votes?

The best chance of winning would be to vote for your candidate 3 times. I hope they have a mechanism in place that prohibits that from happening.
