Out of those 110 people:
35 put all 5 of their votes on BP (Total 175 votes)
30 put 5 votes on Khaled (150 votes)
5 put 5 votes on Lily (25 votes)
40 split their votes between Ali and Lily all giving Lily 3 votes (120 votes)
So BP has 175 votes (from 35 people)
Khaled 150 votes (from 30 people)
Lily has 145 votes (from 45 people)
Although here more people gave votes to Lily, overall the number of votes received for Khaled is more.

I agree with you that it’s not going to be clear. The fact that it’s a double and more people will be splitting votes than usual puts a spanner in the works when it comes to polls and predicting etc
I was just trying to work with what data we’ve got, and was noting that last year Jenkin & Trish were much closer in the odds than BP & Khaled are this time
