The 50%+1 is for change. That's counted first. Then if there's a vote to change they look at the options people voted for.
Did you not even read your ballot information?
Yes I did and it forced you to vote for a choice you didn't want in the first place or have no say at all. On top of that, a couple of those choices had issues that were to be decided later, like whether some positions would be filled by people on the ballot or party appointees. They couldn't even give complete choices.
