Using the Hare method, we divide the total number of votes (20) by the number of available seats (1). This gives us the smallest amount of votes (20) required for a candidate to win.

After the first round of vote counting, Candidate A has the most votes, but has only received 9 votes (less than the required 20 votes to win). Candidate C has received only 5, and Candidate B has received only 6 votes.

Since Candidate A has the most votes, he/she is declared the winner in the second round of vote counting.
