(6)If the total value of the unexhausted papers is equal to or less than the surplus, the Returning Officer shall transfer each sub-parcel of unexhausted papers to the contesting candidates indicated therein as the voter's next preference, each paper being transferred at the value at which it was received by the candidate whose surplus is being transferred, when the total value of the unexhausted papers is less than the surplus, the exhausted papers shall be set aside at a value which is equal to the differences between the surplus and the total value of the unexhausted papers.

(7)If the total value of the unexhausted papers is greater than the surplus, the Returning Officer shall transfer each paper in each sub-parcel of unexhausted papers to the continuing candidate indicating therein as the voter's next preference and the value at which such papers shall be transferred shall be ascertained by dividing the surplus by the total number of unexhausted papers (fractional remainders being disregarded) except that the consequential loss of the value shall be noted on the result sheet.

(8)The papers transferred to each candidate shall be added in the form of a sub parcel to the papers already belonging to such candidate.
